Yes, under the right conditions, sodium acetate is flammable. In fact, a mixture of sodium acetate and potassium nitrate, when intimately mixed, and heated, will explode -- sodium acetate is incompatible with strong oxidizers.
The reaction is said to be about "one third as powerful" as that between potassium nitrate, potassium carbonate, and sulfur (in a 3:2:1 ratio -- "yellow powder") under the same conditions of slow heating.
Do not try this at home (but, if you must, stick to quantities of a gram or less, and use hearing and eye protection, and keep away from anything flammable).
