flammable agent

The victim was wrapped in a baby blanket, doused with a flammable agent, and burned.

Concern over such blazes waned after the 1970s, when highly flammable agents such as ether gave way to safer anesthetics.

(To allay the fears of those over 40 who recall horrible-smelling ether dripped onto a gauze mask placed over the face, Dr. Rose assures them that nobody uses ether, or any other flammable agent, anymore).

Making an FAE the size of a Daisy Cutter would be difficult because the correct uniform mixture of the flammable agent with the ambient air would be difficult to maintain if the agent were so widely dispersed.

He said there was no indication that a flammable agent had sparked the blaze, and that it broke out February 3 in a very inaccessible location beneath the first six steps of the basement of the building in the southwestern city of Ludwigshafen.
