You are completely WRONG, CFRP has much higher temperature resistance than aluminium, much better temperature-strength curve. It is simply a much superior material. In terms of fire it has self-extinguishing properties.
Can you expand a bit on the bolded part? I am not good at advanced chemistry, nor in some of the exotic materials used nowadays, so I will ask:

once something starts burning, how does it stop itself from burning?
