Disbark in flames (6)

I believe the answer is:

alight

I believe this is a double definition.

'disbark' is the first definition.
(both can mean to leave a vehicle)

'in flames' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for alight that I've seen before include "Descend from vehicle" , "Small restaurant" , "following action of arsonist?" , "(Of bird) settle" , "Dismount" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Times.
