Course you wouldn't want to store any combustibles or aerosol cans up there. IMO it would have to have ignition source. You attic may reach temps over 120 degrees and can damage things stored up there. I put a thermometer at attic floor level and temp at 3 pm on 90 degree day was 117F. Temps could rech. 130F depending on insulation and circulation of out air and of course outside afternoon temps.

I do have stuff stored up there and at my old house in OK which temps have reached 111 and attic temps was over 125F at 4pm in the heat of the day.
