2. Fire proximity suit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_proximity_suit

   Fire proximity suits first appeared during the 1930s, and were originally made of asbestos fabric. Today they are manufactured from vacuum-deposited aluminized materials that reflect the high radiant loads produced by the fire. An early manufacturer of the aluminized suits was the Bristol Uniforms company under the direction of Patrick Seager Hill.

   Nomex is a trademarked term for an inherently flame-resistant fabric with meta-aramid chemistry widely used for industrial applications and fire protection equipment. It was developed in the early 1960s by DuPont and first marketed in 1967. [1] The fabric is often combined with Kevlar to increase its resistance for breakage or tear.

   Joint Firefighter Integrated Response Ensemble (J-FIRE) is a military protective suit used for firefighting in the CBRN and WMD environment. [3] J-FIRE utilizes the JSLIST and an aluminized firefighting proximity suit. The J-FIRE is designed to resist water and standard firefighting chemicals, while still providing CBRN protection to the user.

6. List of fire-retardant materials - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fire-retardant...

   Fire-retardant materials should not be confused with fire-resistant materials. A fire resistant material is one which is designed to resist burning and withstand heat. An example of a fire-resistant material is one which is used in bunker gear worn by firefighters to protect them from the flames of a burning building.

7. Fire retardant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_retardant

   A fire retardant is a substance that is used to slow down or stop the spread of fire or reduce its intensity. This is commonly accomplished by chemical reactions that reduce the flammability of fuels or delay their combustion .
