An expanding rod missile wouldn’t necessarily cause any fire.

The missile supposedly used in the chopper shootdown was the SA-16 Igla. It has a fragmentation warhead that can be magnetic proximity, impact, or delayed impact. Below is an example of the damage one did to an A-10 during Desert Storm.
