Hi guys sorry took me so long to reply was working at the station. MrClark the pink foam is as it is labeled "combustible" not flammable or explosive so there really is no need to worry that it will just suddenly catch fire and burn everything down. Now this will not preclude something else catching fire and having it then support the cumbustion. The big thing to remember is fire load (things that burn in an area) lets say our layouts wood frame construction with a foam top covered in paint and plaster and newspaper and other various hobby materials. most of these items are combustible meaning they need a direct scource of ignition to burn. As you can tell from other posters heat alone will not cause this reaction. Now paint fumes and glue fumes on the other hand are a different story as these are Flammable and or Explosive. but thats another show. I would make sure you have no open direct flame scource nearby the layout and if your worried about wiring causing this insulate your slpces and connections well as we should all be doing anyway....right guys??? as a last note for those who are working in there basment or garages with a fossil fuel type of heating unit please invest in and install working smoke detectors and a carbon monoxide detector it may save your life and your family....
