Generally no. But it is corrosive, reactive and it cannot be extinguished with water if it burns. Lithium reacts with water to form a strong alkali which attacks skin. (It is the water in air that exposed metal reacts with.) Lithium is stored as a "bulk metal" in a petrolium liquid such as kerosene or naphtha. And those fluids are combustable. It is critically important to have your head on straight when working around this stuff, and even more so when handling it. Use the link to the Wikipedia article on lithium and check out the precautions.
