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.



Dennis
