The textiles used to make fire person's uniforms contain Melamine. Melamine is a synthetic polymer which is fire resistant and heat tolerant. Melamine is a very versatile material with a highly stable structure. Uses for melamine include whiteboards, floor tiles, kitchenware, fire retardant fabrics, and commercial filtersMelamine will protect a wearer from heat hazards, and will help to resist the spread of fire in aircraft and buses by providing a fire blocker.

The material is Nomex. It is a material that is chemically similiar to Kevlar. Nomex is weaker than Kevlar, but more fire-resistant. Both Nomex and Kevlar are made by DuPont. The reason that firefighters still die in fires is mainly because the flames are not the only threats that a firefighter faces. They also face poisonous gases and smoke, shockwaves from explosions, falling debris, and collapsing buildings. Also, no material is perfectly fireproof. All materials can be destroyed by fire if the temperature is high enough.

generally they wear synthetic jackets which is fire resistant, but the temperature goes higher and due to smoke which may suffocate them and they must carry a oxygencylinder to breathe and a cylinder with fire extingushers perhaps they can escape otherwise they are in trouble
