It's been a while since I read up on it. But what they add to the fuel takes fire from being a concern in every emergency landing to, only the worst crash typically end up with a ball of fire.
It's a mitigating factor if memory serves me correctly.

They've started adding inerting agents into fuel tanks, and fuel additives to increase the flash point of fuel.
