fire proofing fabric? - Other Crafts

I was wondering if anyone has had experience (fire codes, etc.) where decorative fabrics needed to be fire proofed. I come from a theatrical background where fire restrictions can be staunch. Figured the cotton based stuff may not be the safest thing hung up in my home - especially in the eyes of my cautious landlord. Good idea? Bad idea? If good idea, how do I go about fire proofing cotton & synthetic basesd fabric? Recommended product? Thanks.
