SN and fire

[killedbypsychiatry]

I am definitely being paranoid but I since I saw a flammable sticker on SN bottle I am scared. I read stan's guide but couldn't find anything about fire.

I am just worried because I read:
"SN may react explosively with hydrocarbons"
"SN may ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil)"

does igniting combustibles mean if a paper or wood is near it it will cause a fire? And can someone explain what does react explosively mean?

Thanks and I'm so sorry for being paranoid.

Google is your friend -

'Sodium Nitrite is not combustible, but it is a STRONG OXIDIZER that enhances the combustion of other substances. Use water only. DO NOT USE dry chemical, Halon® or CO2 as extinguishing agents.'

Thanks for the reply, so basically there has to already be a fire for it to be dangerous. It's fine if I put my SN bottle in a wooden drawer?
