Combustibility vs. Flammability: What's the Difference?
What is
Combustibility?
● Combustibility means how easily
something can burn
● It's about how fast and how well
something catches fire
● Some things burn easily, some don't
● Can you think of something that burns
easily?
What is Flammability?
● Flammability is how easily something can catch fire
● It's about how quickly something starts to burn
● Some things catch fire fast, some don't
● What do you think catches fire quickly?
The Main Difference
● Combustibility: How well something keeps burning
● Flammability: How easily something starts burning
● Both are important for fire safety
● Can you tell me the difference in your own words?
Examples of Combustible
Materials
● Wood: Burns well and for a long time
● Paper: Burns easily and quickly
● Cloth: Can burn for a while
Examples of
Flammable Materials
● Gasoline: Catches fire very easily
● Alcohol: Can catch fire quickly
● Lighter fluid: Made to help start fires
Fire Safety with Combustible Items
● Keep papers and books tidy
● Don't pile up too much wood
● Be careful with curtains near heat
● How can you help keep your room safe?
Fire Safety with Flammable Items
● Never play with matches or lighters
● Stay away from cleaning products
● Tell a grown-up if you smell gas
● What should you do if you see something flammable?
Combustible vs. Flammable: A Fun Game
● Let's play a game!
● I'll name something, you say if it's more combustible or
flammable
● Remember: Combustible burns well, Flammable catches fire
easily
● Are you ready to play?
Game Item 1: A Tree
● Is a tree more combustible or flammable?
● Think about it: Does it burn for a long
time?
● The answer: Combustible! Trees burn for
a long time
● Great job! Let's try another
Game Item 2: Nail
Polish Remover
● Is nail polish remover more combustible or
flammable?
● Hint: Does it catch fire easily?
● The answer: Flammable! It catches fire
very quickly
● You're doing great! One more
Game Item 3: A Cardboard Box
● Is a cardboard box more combustible or flammable?
● Think: Does it burn for a while once it starts?
● The answer: Combustible! It burns well once it starts
● Fantastic job on our game!
Why Do We Learn
This?
● Knowing about combustibility and
flammability keeps us safe
● It helps us understand fire dangers
● We can prevent fires by being careful
● Why do you think this is important to
learn?
How to Stay Safe: Combustible Items
● Keep areas clean and tidy
● Don't stack papers or wood too high
● Be careful with candles
● What else can you do to be safe with combustible things?
How to Stay Safe: Flammable Items
● Never play with matches or lighters
● Keep away from gas stoves
● Tell an adult if you smell something strange
● Can you think of other ways to be safe around flammable items?
What to Do in Case of
Fire
● Stay calm
● Get out of the building quickly
● Call 911 or your local emergency number
● Do you remember "Stop, Drop, and Roll"?
Review: Combustibility
● Combustibility is about how well something burns
● Examples: Wood, paper, cloth
● These things burn for a longer time
● Can you name one combustible item in this room?
Review: Flammability
● Flammability is about how easily something catches fire
● Examples: Gasoline, alcohol, lighter fluid
● These things catch fire very quickly
● What's one flammable item you should never touch?
Conclusion: Staying
Fire Smart!
● We learned about combustibility and
flammability
● Both are important for fire safety
● Remember to always be careful around
fire
● You're now fire safety experts! Great job,
everyone!
