Wool varies, but usually burns slowly, just self-supporting

a flame, although in this case it would be exposed to flame.

It gives off hydroden cyanide when burned, which is a common

cause of death in house fires from burning wool and synthetic

polymers.

Ah but the chimney sheep is made of felt which although made of wool is different and is naturally fire retardant. Take a look at this quick list of the advantages of felt http://www.aetnafelt.com/felt_advantages.htm (and no I don't have a contract or any relationship with that company either!)
