Wool carpet does burn, but it has natural fire‑resistant qualities. It tends to ignite with more heat than synthetic fibres and may self‑extinguish when the flame source is removed. Wool typically produces less smoke than nylon when burned. In terms of fire safety, wool carpets are generally regarded as safer than nylon, but all carpets can burn and fire safety depends on many factors.
