Why should you never leave a spray can in a fire or leave it in direct sunlight?

Because a spray can (when full) is filled with compressed gases, and when they are heated they expand (general gas law), which has the potential to make said cans explode, sending shrapnel into the surrounding area. Furthermore, most compressed gas cans have a form of propellant that is highly flammable, so not only will it explode, it will also turn into a very large fireball (if near open flame) which can potentially harm nearby people. Compressed gas cans + heat -> a bad idea.
