The message
from "Franz Heymann" contains these words:

Sodium chlorate is not inflammable by itself. It is a substance which
supplies Oxygen abundantly. When it is spilt onto something which is itself
flammable, like wood, it can start a spontaneous fire.

It still requires heat to release the oxygen. Potassium chlorate is more
dangerous as mixed with something flammable, it will ignite with
friction, or a sharp blow.
