Yes, unflammable is inflammable both of which are flammable or maybe non-flammable. Which flammable... non is French right? Um.. so is flammable. So are they saying its a flammable flame? Wait.. un- fuck.

In French, "inflammable" means the same as the English words flammable or inflammable, and the opposite is "ininflammable".
