Firefighters' duty uniforms, the ones they wear around the station, are made from cotton. They usually wear cotton twill pants and cotton shirts. Cotton is preferred because, when they go out on fires, they can put their turnout gear on over it and not have to worry about their clothes melting to their skin. Firefighters' turnout gear is made of "PBI Gold" fabric. It's made of a fabric called "polybenzimidazole" woven with kevlar. PBI fabric is unique in that it is completely unable to burn or melt, even if you poured gasoline on it and set it on fire.
