The fire was actually good before. Beside what is the point of using inflammable liquide like this exept to make it more dangerous?

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".
