flammable substances
Things that ignite
Flammable substances are materials that ignite easily and burn rapidly—gasoline, alcohol, certain gases, and volatile chemicals.
The term appears in safety regulations, warning labels, and hazmat classifications: Store flammable substances away from heat sources.
Flammable and inflammable mean the same thing, a quirk that has caused enough confusion to favor flammable in safety contexts.
