It is slightly misleading to say that they are "made of" shiny material. The bulk of these suits is a form of thermal insulator, to prevent the conduction of heat to the fire-fighter's body.

The shiny material is a thin layer on the outside of the suit; it is there because shiny stuff reflects heat away from the suit.
