If a car battery was hooked up in reverse order, can it cause the car to start on fire

What is your question?

I believe my boyfriend connected the battery in wrong order for the posts. He then started the car, it backfired and started on fire. Can hooking up a battery in the wrong order for the posts cause this to happen?
