Best Answer

European, US, and Australian fire classification systems all include these in "Class A" fire category.

Class A fires are those with ordinary combustibles such as wood, paper, fabrics and most kinds of refuse.

Fires involving burning liquids, gases, or metals are not Class A.

Paper in class can definitely be considered to be a fire hazard. This is because paper if flammable and if it falls into a heater it could start a fire.
