In General - Woolen fabrics burn the slowest, cotton burns faster, and synthetic materials burn the fastest.

Synthetics in general have a really dangerous property in that they produce pools or droplets of molten material which cause serious deep burns to the victim.

It is possible to apply flame retardants to the usual furnishing fabrics, but these are less practical for clothing which is washed frequently.

It depends on the fabric. Some real frilly dress fabrics burn very quickly--although the government makes manufacturers add flame retardants to those fabrics because burning dresses are not safe. At the other end of the scale is PBI. It is absolutely fireproof.
