Surprisingly, yes. If you have a dog you can test it out. Just take a decent amount of it, and set it on the sidewalk. Light it with a match, a lighter, or something else.

How do you fix burning poop?

If you are burning the feces to get rid of it, then your best bet would be to install an incinerator toilet.

What is the flashpoint of poop?

It depends on the temperature of the feces and the freshness. Fresh warm feces is rich in methane (CH4) which is highly flammable would have a flash point of about -186 Celsius. The methane releases as the feces cools and dries which is where the composition of the feces comes in. Dry ambient temperature feces will have variable flash point depending on what the depositor last ate before passing the feces. A grass fed animal's feces will have a flash point around 120 degrees Celsius, where as human feces from an individual with a "meat and potato" diet would be approximately 280 degrees Celsius.
