Small correction......

with inflammable cargo
Some time ago (1972 ) the definitions were changed so substances that are liquid and can burn are called "Flammable" and solids are called "Combustible"

For the same substances that won't burn it's "Non-flammable" and "Non-combustible"

I make the point because you may, one day, have to talk to the Fire Chief who will use this terminology.......
