unburnt

Escaped the flames

Unburnt means not burned or not completely consumed by fire: unburnt wood remained at the edges of the fire pit.

The word appears in technical contexts—unburnt fuel in an engine, unburnt clay bricks dried in the sun rather than fired in a kiln.

Also spelled unburned, with no difference in meaning.
