flammable materials
Things that burn
Flammable materials are substances that ignite easily and burn rapidly—fuels, solvents, gases, and certain fabrics.
The phrase appears most often in safety contexts: warning labels, storage regulations, fire codes.
Keep flammable materials away from heat sources.
