You should never throw an aerosol can onto a fire or leave it in direct sunlight - even if it is empty. This is because the pressure will build so up so much that the can will burst (and explode if there is a naked flame nearby). There are two reasons for the pressure going up:
- the gas pressure increases
- more of the liquefied propellant turns into a gas
