Yes, it can start on fire! if the time was more than 7 1/2 hours than it can't!
A fire can be started in a lot less time than that if you have parked your car over debris especially dry brush or leaves, the exhaust system... specifically the catalytic converters develop and retain a lot of heat that can start fires. Another situation is when a driver pulls off the road for repairs may not be aware that tall dry grasses on the side of the road is not a good place to stop.
A car can catch fire at any time. Even though it's not a real common occurance, the wiring can short out, resulting in a fire. People have actually lost their car and their homes due to this, especially if it happens at night when they are sleeping. When one of the wires short out and catches fire, and if the car is parked in the garage or carport, it can then get large enough to catch the house on fire.
