Answer:

Natural Gas can be explosive or flammable depending on it's concentration in air.

Natural gas has a flammability range of approximately 5 to 15 percent.

Any percentage greater than that is explosive for natural gas.

Hope this helps.

Answer:

Conditions to Avoid: Natural gas is extremely flammable and explosive; avoid heat, sparks, open flames, and all possible sources of ignition. Heat will increase pressure in containers used to store natural gas.Jun 1, 2015
