I am not sure I would put much weight on an electrical fire situation, on board the aircraft that is. But outside, think St. Elmo's Fire. A quote from a B757 FO flying from LAX to ATL in high clouds:
As soon as we got into the clouds, St. Elmo’s fire was blasting off the nose of the airplane, the ozone smell was intense.
