Yes, humans can be flammable. The human body is mostly water, however, so it takes a very high temperature fire to convert all that water to steam and then to ignite the remaining tissue.

We are sometimes subject to (heretofore unexplained) spontaneous combustion. See the related link listed below for more information:

Yes, human bodies are flammable due to the presence of fat and other flammable substances in the body. However, the human body is not highly flammable and would require high temperatures and sustained exposure to ignite.
