In the interest of safety, don't do what I did today. I was doing some mig-fluxcore welding, when I became aware that my left leg was getting pretty warm. My left pantleg was ablaze. Fortunately, I noticed it before it got away from me, and I was able to squeeze the flames out with my hands. In retrospect, I realize what I was doing wrong: I was wearing an old pair of khaki pants, which were were badly frayed along the bottoms of the legs. Evidently, some of the splatter from the arc touched these easily ignited threads, and things almost got out of hand.
I am sharing this in order to save someone else from possibly being burned.
