If I can support Max from experience, not of flame but of very hot water.
I had a car with a rear radiator - we won't go into why. A hose that ran through the passenger side became disconnected and water straight from the engine gushed out, splashing over the gearbox onto my feet. My Nomex suit and suede-plus-Nomex boots protected me but my ankles were scalded between my boots and the cuff of the trousers, where only my (Nomex!) socks intervened.
It could have been so much worse!
And my suit had been washed, many times!
