Non-Combustible Material - ANSWERS-a that material won't ignite,
burn or release flammable vapors under intended conditions
Non-Flammable - ANSWERS-not capable of igniting or burning when
exposed to flame
Ohm - ANSWERS-a unit of electrical impedance/resistance
Origin - ANSWERS-the location where a fire or explosion began
