Best Answer

Fires can burn different things such as wood, paper, gasoline, and hydrogen gas. These are what we call combustible or inflammable materials.

Fires cannot burn things like sand, fiberglass, asbestos, rust, and carbon dioxide gas. These are what we call inert or fireproof materials.

Don't confuse melting with burning. If a flame is hot enough, it can usually melt, vaporize, or even destroy fireproof materials.

Fire can burn flammable materials such as wood, paper, cloth, plastic, and oil. However, fire cannot burn materials that are non-flammable, such as glass, metal, stone, and certain ceramics.
