Paper consist of fibers. These are not all identical, and don't burn in exactly the same way. Some shrink more, which makes the paper curl and crease.

Paper contracts in fire because the heat causes the moisture in the paper to evaporate rapidly, causing the fibers in the paper to shrink and contract. This process also breaks down the cellulose fibers in the paper, making it brittle and easily consumed by the flames.
