A process is illustrated for rendering a water repellent fabric fire retardant without adversely affecting the fabric's water repellent characteristics. The water repellent fabric is treated with an aqueous medium containing a fire retarding agent and a thermally degradable surfactant such as the diacetyl dilauryl amide derivative of triethylenetetramine and then dried. On drying, the surfactant degrades and the water repellent characteristics of the fabric are restored.
