flash point is the temperature of the fuel at which a momentary or may be a instantaneous flame occurs occurs when you introduce a source of flame over the surface of the fuel (not by contact, the introductory flame should always be above the surface of the fuel)
fire point is the temperature of the fuel at which at least a 5 second flame occurs when you introduce a source of flame above the surface of the fuel.

What is significance of flash point?
The flash point of a flammable liquid is the lowest temperature at which it can form an ignitable mixture in air. At this temperature the vapor may cease to burn when the source of ignition is removed. A slightly higher temperature, the fire point, is defined as the temperature at which the vapor continues to burn after being ignited. Neither of these parameters is related to the temperatures of the ignition source or of the burning liquid, which are much higher. The flash point is often used as one descriptive characteristic of liquid fuel, but it is also used to describe liquids that are not used intentionally as fuels
Why is High flash high speed diesel used in ships instead of high speed diesel?
HSD is having a flash point about 32 deg C and HFHSD flash point is above 66 deg C. Ships' engines are designed with low RPM where as road running vehicles engines are designed to above 750 RPM During compression ,fuel get heated and it can be under risk of Fire due to low flash point of HSD. To avoid or minimize fire risk HFHSD(flash point above66) is used in ships
