Never thrown one into the fire, myself.  I did string one and hang it on the wall:



It didn't really break, it could still shoot arrows, but it had a nasty split under that wrap where the nasty hinge is.  Splinter lifted, I glued/wrapped, and it relifted at full draw.  Wrapping saved it from breaking, but it took massive set right there instantly.  Then I retired the bow for good.
