Nomex doesn't protect you from the heat or keep you from getting a thermal
burn- it simply won't catch fire itself or melt on your skin. You can also
get a used one for under $100, which is a lot cheaper than any handheld
radio or GPS.

Actually, if you're going to wear a suit, you should also consider gloves
and socks as well as a "turkey bag" flame hood.
