Came down in flames? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lit

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'came down' is the first definition.
(light or alight can mean to land)

'in flames?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for lit that I've seen before include "Burning" , "Enlightened" , "Set alight" , "landed here" , "was illuminating" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
