Modifications are aimed at improving performance parameters, using natural substances, moving away from synthetic materials, and improving ergonomics. In order to achieve this, various fibre-production techniques are used, as is the addition of substances, including nanosubstances, into the structure or onto the surface of a given material. In the case of fire-resistant fabrics, which primarily must meet thermal protection requirements, efforts are also being made to reduce weight and eliminate harmful chemicals (e.g., polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons PAHs), and to create smart materials with sensors. However, it is necessary to further develop not only the materials themselves but also cleaning and decontamination techniques that will allow the fire resistance parameters that have been developed to be maintained.  \nKeywords: fire-resistant fabric; protective clothing; cleaning; durability  \n1. Introduction  \nRecent decades have seen intensive developments in textile technology aimed at improving the safety of users of protective clothing when exposed to high temperatures and fire. Increased awareness of fire hazards and stricter safety standards in many industrial sectors, emergency services, and the military have contributed to increased demand for modern materials with fire-resistant properties. In addition to the requirements for effective thermal protection, ergonomic aspects such as comfort of use, breathability, and resistance to repeated washing and dry cleaning have also become crucial.  \nAn example of a solution worth considering is the development of so-called ‘smart materials’, which incorporate sensors, such as a temperature nanosensor, into the structure of a fabric. These materials allow for the monitoring of both the environmental quality atthe fire scene and the comfort of the wearer [1] .  \nRequirements for fire-resistant fabrics and clothing designed for firefighting services must therefore be based on the universally recognized human–technology–environment (H-T-E) system, which considers three aspects: the person, the rescue equipment, and the location of operation. The fire environment, as a workplace for firefighters, for example, is characterized by the impacts of external factors resulting from the specific nature of the incident and the firefighting actions undertaken; the occurrence of stress, generating psychophysical exhaustion; and destructive impacts relating to physicochemical environmental parameters, posing a threat to health and life. A wide range of hazard factors  \nincludes the impacts of, among others, a hot microclimate; an environment with increased chemical activity; and an environment with a complex, active interplay of hazard factors, which can even result in loss of life. The increased awareness of these dangers and the emergence of requirements in this area form the basis for the selection of materials and the implementation of changes and modifications [1] .  \nThe fire resistance of fabrics can be achieved in two primary ways: ","cbCaijKiPlP7UcgG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijKiPlP7UcgG","pdf",734839,17,"English","# Abstract\n# 1.
