If the river is polluted enough, it can. That's what happened to Ohio's cuyahoga-river. In 1969, the Cuyahoga River burst into flames, bringing into focus the river's dire condition. The sheer volume of trash and debris floating in the water, coupled with the chemicals, oil and sludge, made it impossible for fish to live there. Also this was not the first time the river had caught fire.
