Wires can get extremely hot as the current increases and the wire size decreases. An incandescent light bulb is basically a heated wire and you don't want to touch a high wattage light bulb. The temperature can get hot enough to melt copper for example if you have a sufficient source or current. Since copper melts at about 1984 degrees F, you could say under some circumstances this temperature is achieved.
