Fire and artificial fabrics

Am I the only one who is nervous about wearing artificial fabrics because of the fire danger? If you were to go up in flames wearing the traditional biking outfit it would melt and seal to your skin. It is doubtful you would survive a burn like that. My biking outfit is 100% cotton (and yes I know cotton doesn't shed heat.) I sometimes wear a jersey with back pockets because of the convenience but my shorts are always cotton.
