1. Anything that is already burnt will not burn.

2. Inert gases (Helium, Neon etc).

3. Oxygen itself

Even diamonds will burn if fire is hot enough. Water, for instance, is burnt hydrogen. So it never burns. This question can be asked technically as " what cannot be oxidised".

Is solid wire flammable?

Solid wire itself is not flammable. However, if the wire is surrounded by a flammable material or exposed to high temperatures, it can act as a heat source and contribute to a fire.


Are helium filled balloons flammable?

Helium itself is not flammable. However, the material used to make the balloon, such as latex or mylar, can be flammable. It is important to avoid exposing helium-filled balloons to open flames or high heat sources.


Is the viscose fabric flammable?

Yes, viscose fabric is considered flammable because it is derived from cellulose and is a highly flammable material. It is important to take precautions when handling viscose fabric near sources of heat or flame.


Does oxygen catch fire easily?

No. Oxygen is not flammable. Rather, it supports the combustion of flammable materials. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and some flammable material. Higher concentrations of oxygen will cause a fire to burn hotter and faster.


Are cigarette ashes flammable?

No, because flammable means "capable of being easily ignited and of burning quickly", and the ashes are the remnant of material which has already been burnt upand generally cannot burn any further because the flammable material has already oxidized.Of course, the ashes can still be dangerous if they're hot, and can cause other material to catch fire, but that's because the ashes are hot, and the other material is flammable and that other material can catch fire if the ashes are hot enough, not because the ashes themselves are flammable.However, if some flammable material, like cloth, is heated without being in the presence of air, as in a closed container, the hydrogen will be split from the material and vented away as a gas, leaving a matrix of carbon, and the remaining "char cloth" can be used as tinder in a survival kit to easily catch fire from sparks from a fire starter or from a coal produced by friction.
