Please fix fire so it doesn't seep through a complete stone enclosure and burn your wooden house down. I've been helping my brother build a wooden house with trees with a full stone fire place and fire still burns wood through stone. We're not talking wood near fire, we mean through a wall of stone. I understand fire is a dangerous thing and can get out of control, but no fire on earth behaves this erratic. As long as its not touching wood, it shouldn't light up the place like an arson.
I agree, but you can work around this by building wooden structures out of double half blocks. If you do it that way, it takes twice as much wood but it is fire-proof and much more resistant to explosions.

I just used wooden double half blocks and they caught fire.
::edit:: I see, what you're saying is they don't break when on fire. That doesn't help me much as it still spreads, still catches fire and I have more things in my home then wood such as wool, paintings, fences and stumps.
I believe Notch either fixed (or is planning to fix) the glitches that let certain items made of wood (fences, half blocks, etc.) avoid catching fire.
Fire ignores solid barriers, the fire spreading program doesn't view those as obstacles. It ignites any directly horizontally adjacent block, as well as several blocks overhead. So just make sure that there isn't any wood above your fireplace. A 1 block buffer will prevent a fireplace from setting a wood floor on fire, but if you want a wooden roof but a stone chimney above the fireplace.
Edit: Wow, you're right!
