    RIP! The issue here was that nylon is highly inflammable and engulfs the clothing very fast; it's burnt residue also sticks to the skin! Hence people working near open flames should ensure that they compulsorily wear cotton or natural fibre clothes and totally avoid clothes made of nylon or any other synthetic material!!
