Electric Fencing Safety

Hello everyone,
My family and I are running a small farm in east texas, and I raise a few goats with electric netting, made by Premier 1, which is working fine.
We put the fencing in a little bit of woods and we were worried that at this time of year, the tinder dry grass and stuff would catch fire.
We have a pulsing energizer, not a continuous charge.
Is this a real concern, or is it just our imagination?

It's highly unlikely a pulsing charger could start a fire.

The spark only lasts 1/10th of a second
