I haven't heard about the fire hazard. While that is a seperate issue/concern, it's certainly one worth looking into before making a decision...

As for it's toxicity, my thought is 'location location location.' If it were placed in the Tegus enclosure, it will likely be hazardous. Even if it is not 'toxic' the very unnatural odor would likely drive the Tegu mad. But if placed on the far side of the room, I doubt it would be a problem.

Birds are well known to be very sensative to chemicals, but knowing it is bad for them gives you a starting point for research. You may want to find a bird keeping forum and see what kind of thoughts/experiences they have.
