In the European/Australian system, flammable liquids are designated "Class B" having flash point less than 100 °C (212 °F). These fires follow the same basic fire tetrahedron (heat, fuel, oxygen, chemical reaction) as ordinary combustible fires, except that the fuel in question is a flammable liquid such as gasoline, or gas such as natural ...
