No creosote, that is a vertical wood support for the floor joist/beam above it. The column is resting on the foundation's footing and the moisture has darkened it. Every column under the house looks like that on the bottom couple inches. They are all firm but are on schedule to be replaced this summer with treated columns. The basement has seen moisture this year. I have installed a sump pump to keep it dry until summer comes when I can regrade the yard and connect the downspouts.
I have a roll of flashing I can use for the fireblock.
I will follow up with the mason's advice once he gets out here.
You've all been very helpful. Thanks again.
