Detailed explanation-1: -Flash point is the lowest temperature at which the vapor above an oil will ignite or flash momentarily if/when an ignition source is passed over or exposed to it. Having a high flash point indicates you have a lower fire hazard when exposed to high temperature heat sources.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is the Difference Between Flash Point and Boiling Point? Flash point is the lowest temperature at which vapour of the material will ignite when given an ignition source. Boiling point is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid equals the external pressure surrounding the liquid.

Detailed explanation-3: -In addition to the observation that both boiling point and flashpoint decrease with decreasing pressure, the measurements also revealed that the open-cup and closed-cup flashpoints decrease at different rates. The lower flammability limit, on the other hand, was shown to increase with the decreasing of pressure.

Detailed explanation-4: -The fire point is higher than the flash point because the vapors produced at the flash point are not sufficient enough to ignite the fuel.
