I think it's more to do if the house catches fire, and the cable melts or catches fire due to the house fire, causing toxic fumes, not so much to to with the cable being an ignition source.

Nonsense. First of all, the joule-burn rate on a co-ax is less than1/8th, and even a low-grade corrosion inhibitor is going to nullify that. And besides, if the the cable is less/more than 2009, it's probably got a canola based (yes, canola, the botanical based lubricant/cooking oil) liner.

Now I'm not saying he should run cable through the negative-temp ductwork (aka "cold air return", for the layman), but if he's going to do so, all he needs to do is check the KIT# on the spool.

Pretty simple, really.
