Fire Hazard?

Just insulated my steam pipes. I insulated the first riser that comes out of the boiler. The insulation is about 4 inched from the top of the boiler. I know that the fiberglass is fireproof but what about the foil backed paper? I looked at diagrams of my boiler and it appears that the open flame is on the very bottom and then there is a large cast iron block that the riser comes out of. I am thinking that I am in the clear as far as a fire hazard. Any thought would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
