Most combustible liquids do not present a vapor problem if accidentally released into the atmosphere. The probability of a fire, therefore, is considerably less than it would be if the spill was of a flammable material. If, however, the combustible liquid is at a temperature higher than its flashpoint, then it can be expected to behave in the identical manner a flammable liquid. One major difference between the two in a fire situation is that the potential exists for cooling the combustible liquid below its flash point by the proper application of water (generally applied in the form of water spray). In the event the liquid is burning, and if the fire forces are successful in achieving the required reduction in liquid temperature, then vapor production will cease and the fire will be extinguished because of a lack of vapor fuel. Unless this reduction in liquid temperature can be brought about, the fire will necessitate the same control considerations a low-flash liquid fire would. 

The most common property in the assessment of fire hazards is the flashpoint that is applicable to liquids or melts, and is the lowest temperature at which the vapor above the substance may be ignited and continue to burn. The reference pressure for the flashpoint is 1013 mbar. 

Although EPA does not spell out criteria or statements for physical and chemical hazards other than flammability, it may require such statements on the label if data submitted with the application for registration indicate a potential hazard. The draft guidelines raise the upper limit of the flashpoint criteria from 80°F to 100°F, consistent with the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, provide specific criteria for labeling pesticles as non-flammable , and expand upon the flammability statements in Table 10.4.
