The only thing I am aware of that can cause a Lipo to catch fire is putting on the wrong kind of charger.
not the 1st I seen on this site actually one guy that posted here long ago wrote how(it turned out later) he had the charger set wrong went in the house to watch TV, and the thing burst burning his house down. He even had pictures of the mess.
Also remember one guy saying how he was charging a lipo while it was in his truck (I think it was an Emaxx I know it was a traxxas though) on his kitchen table went to sleep just to wake up to the smell of burning, and finding his truck melted, and a hole in the table.
But fire stories on the car forum are pretty rare outside those cases
Now a charged lipo bursting... that isn't common unless something damages it.
