Explanation:
The paper doesn't burn. The main reason for this consequence is the iron rod, otherwise it can also be air around. According to first reason, the iron rod has a high melting point and is a good conductor of heat and hence absorbs the heat and doesn't allow the paper to reach its ignition temperature. when coming to the second reason if the wind is strong then it is difficult for the paper to burn.
