Freon is not flammable. In fact, it was once commonly used in fire extinguishers, especially aboard Navy ships. Freon was considered a huge improvement over its predecessors (propane or ammonia) because they were flammable or toxic. Today cars and home A/C systems use a variety of safer alternatives. One common chemical is R410A, also called Puron or Genetron AZ-20.
Most cars in the USA currently use R134a.
