why does a helicopter catch fire

why does a helicopter catch fire on impact? is it because of collapse of the fuel tank and fuel splashing on engine, or due to electrical spark provided to fuel fumes if battery is on during impact, or any other reason?, how does switching off battery helps in avoiding fire on impact?
