Carbon fibers themselves are not flammable however a binder or Resin used to form a shape or structure is flammable. Although Carbon Fiber structures are not easily ignited once the temperature exceeds appx. 550 F ignition can occur. In the case of carbon fiber components in a car, the initial ignition source can be the gasoline on-board, followed up by the ignition of the carbon fiber components with the higher ignition temperatures.
