It is treated with boric acid (naturally occurring in a solid form) which makes it essentially fireproof. Check out the video on this page. It's some folks I know out here who install cellulose. Cellu-Spray: Home
I have seen him do the same trick but he then pours the melted penny on a bat of fiberglass and it goes right through. I have plenty of 3rd party documentation describing the fire retardant properties of cellulose if you are interested.

Update. Finished first steps of project. Garage is done. Insulation seems to be working so far so good, although I guess the real test will be this winter, summers I'm not really worried about.
