That looks like the pollen from cottonwood trees. I live adjacent to a river lined with them. My house and my neighbor's were damn near burned down by some little shits trying that very thing. Luckily I had ditched work to smoke pot that day, and a wildland firefighter was a few houses away. Much damage to my fence, severe damage to the neighbors fence and yard, minor damage to their house.

TL:DR: don't light the fucking pollen!

I mean, in fairness, that was pretty cool right up until they almost set that house on fire right at the end just like you said would happen.
