Okay, it's not in the same league as acetone, let alone carbon
disulphide, but it's still highly flammable and I would hate to see
any fire insurance claims as a result of anyone thinking otherwise.

Isopropanol is about as flammable as ethanol (vodka :-) so the vapour
is unlikely to flash over to a flame or hot surface, but it is not worth
taking risks.
