Hey Chippie!
It is both, don't want to create lead fumes (or dust for that matter)
and don't want to start a fire.

Subject: Re: [BP] Fire
I recall we were on a related subject back in December. The warning
issued then was not to use heat to remove lead-based paint. Forgive me
if I'm a little lead tainted but at the time I assumed the warning had
something to do with generating a lead health hazard (with kids in an
old house we have been alerted to the risks and consequences of
over-exposure). Later I started to wonder if the warning was merely
what is being discussed now, that heat creates the threat of fire. I
should have asked earlier but now that we have come back to paint
removal, can someone clarify the risk of using heat on lead paint?
Signed,
Chip Peel
