Hi Mimi! Thank you so much for asking! We take great precaution in insuring that it's fire resistant. We have a proprietary enamel that we coat the tumbleweed in after sculpting that is fire resistant up to 2,500 degrees. This makes the tumbleweed portion more fire resistant than most lights you can purchase anywhere on the market. Safety is very important to us! Please let me know if I can be of any more help, Mimi! Thanks again.
