Condon and the researchers then conducted burn tests with the fabric situated at a 45-degree angle, and the tests revealed that four new strains with the lowest heat release capacity were able to self-extinguish after being exposed to flame.

WTF?!

Yep. I would imagine it also naturally doesn't release much oxidizers as it burns.
