  • one million americans did not catch on fire last year,

  • Yea so you don't want to know what I'm using this fabric for

  • Wow, they used a black dummy so show how a shirt can catch fire

  • Just to point out Kevlar isnt fireproof its a variant of Kevlar called Nomex which is fireproof :)

  • @nathanial41 Really, A heavy denim fibre won't catch, unless you throw it on a bonfire =P

    I would also prefer kevlar over cotton if I was entering a burning house thou ^^

  • @Serostern I'm a firefighter and that's not true. Cotton WITH kevlar or another type of heat resistant fiber is the way to go. It doesn't go up like gasoline but i wouldn't want to be wearing it in a house fire.

  • their job sucks!

  • 5:03 oh look the guy has the belly burner xD

  • I am a fire preformer, and Cotton is pretty much the most flame resistant you will find.

    This retard narrator acts like cotton burns like fucking gasoline.

  • i have a molten monsoon in my underwear
