Don't thing we'd have to worry much about that in this day
and age Elvis.  The Hindenburg burned because of the nitrate
dopes on the fabric envelop, which were ignited by static
electricity discharge, rather than from the hydrogen gas.
Modern coatings on fabric are much less flammable, and some
(like Stits for example) can not be made to burn at all.
Much safer these days when it comes to fabric aircraft
(which is good!).
