I have a room where the 1-block-thick roof is covered in furnaces as combination cheap blast protection from creepers above and fast processing for ores/glass etc. I'm considering doing some floor-to-ceiling wool block patterns, but this would jut the wool up against some furnaces and I need to make sure I won't be setting my room ablaze. Can furnaces light things on fire, particularly wool? I'm inclined to believe not but I'd like to know for sure before risking it.

Torches can't cause a fire.
- Are there burned trees in the neighbourhood? A forest fire might be the cause.

Light will shine through paintings, but paintings have to be placed over solid blocks (which signs count as!), so you could make a wall like so:

The hole in the middle would actually be 2 deep; you'd place a torch in the back, then a sign in front, then put a painting over the hole/sign; the torch would shine through the sign and painting, and light up the room (although the light would be somewhat diminished because the torch is recessed by 2 blocks).

No, furnaces do not start fires
The fire effect from one is purely visual.
