There are several methods of trying to fireproof paper...

Hm..

One way paper catches fire and is ruined because it got too hot, so it breaks down. One thing to do is to redistribute the heat upon contact. Say you wrapped a piece of paper around a metal pipe and you hold it above a flame: The paper should not burn because the heat is being redistributed along the metal pipe it is in contact with. The paper never gets too hot to burn. 

Hahaha

So.... 

Yeah

HAHAHAH
