Small correction......
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.......
