Fire-resistant material (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

asbestos

'fire-resistant material' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for asbestos that I've seen before include "I might end up lagging" , "Heat-resistant fibrous mineral" , "condemned building material" , "'Fireproof substance, dangerous to health (8)'" , "Boss set a non-burning material up" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and the Sydney Morning Herald.
