So true, most deaths in fires are due to smoke not the fire. All fabric will burn the fire retardent you add at home will wash out when it gets wet, Most charities do not want you to add anything because of allergies. 100% cotton is better than cotton blends, cotton burns, but some blends will melt before they burn, which is a whole diffrent type of burn.More painful, and harder to heal.
