Flame retardants reduce the spread of fire on a material by raising the temperature at which it will burn. There are several physical chemistry approaches to reducing flame spread, but see the wikipedia article for more details.

How are forest fires extuinguished?
Water and flame retardants dropped by both firefighters on the ground and by aircraft
How do different flame retardants affect the flammability and burning rate of cotton?
oil burns the best
What is chemical retardants?
Chemical retardants are substances used to slow down or inhibit the combustion process. They are commonly used in fire suppression systems and coatings to reduce the flammability of materials and prevent or delay the spread of fires. Chemical retardants work by interrupting the chemical reactions that occur during combustion, thereby reducing the fire's intensity and rate of spread.
Name products which are made from organophosphorus compounds?
