"Not when it is hot."

OK. What is the ignition point of JP-5? JP-8?

JP-5 and JP-8 are military fuels and are specially formulated to have a higher flash point for safety reasons. Commercial jet fuel in the U.S. is called JetA and has a lower flashpoint. The flash point for JP-5, for example, is 60 degrees celcius or 140 degrees farenheit. The flash point for Jet A is 38 degrees celcius, or 100.4 farenheit.
