Short answer is yes.
Static electricity i capable of causing a spark.
There are 3 things needed for fire. Fuel, Oxygen and a source of ignition.
If the other 2 conditions are met, then static electricity could certainly provide the ignition source.

No, static electricity does not have a smell.
Static electricity is a noun phrase consisting of an adjective ("static") and a noun ("electricity").
When we experience a shock from static electricity, it hurts because the sudden flow of electrons between our body and another object can disrupt the normal balance of electrical charges in our nerves, causing a sensation of pain.
Water can conduct electricity, so it can help static electricity to dissipate or discharge. If there is a buildup of static electricity on a surface, water can provide a path for the excess charge to flow away, reducing the effects of static electricity.
static electricity is static electricity

Static electricity constitutes of charges that are static i.e. they do not move.
You can move things with static electricity!

Static electricity translates into electrons not in motion. Typically, you rub rubber on fur to get static electricity. I get static electricity from petting my cat (I am a rubber of my cat, but I am not made of rubber.)
Becuase static electricity is generated by rubbing or by friction.
As long as the electricity is static, it is of little concern. Of course, static today, current tomorrow. If you are in contact with a large static charge and also with the Earth, the energy can flow through you, and there might be enough to stop your heart. I heard of a man who picked up two cables to connect them and was cooked. The person in charge said it was static electricity, since the power was then not on. Of course, it is my point that static electricity is merely charge, and the charge (most usually) has to move to hurt you. Moving charges are called electric current.
