Snip
 
Look up the definition of "flash point".  It is not intuitive and not what a lot of people think of or invision, and is not related to boiling point.  For instance, gasoline has a flashpoint of something like 60 belowF.  The gas in my car is something like 160 degrees ABOVE its flashpoint and it hasn't blown up yet!
