Just learned the Rising Eagle Road fire in central Washington was started by someone towing a trailer, with a flat, that caused sparks

I would like to see this tested by Mythbusters

No need. Just watch any random episode of "Wildest police chase videos" Just about every episode has some nutcase who had his tires shredded by either the spike strip or just by running over fences and curbs running from the police. The dashcams clearly show sparks flying and grass fires being started all along the chase route.
