The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least a thermoplastic polyamide resin, a thermoplastic polyester resin, a reinforcing or bulking filler and a fire retardant. Said composition does not comprise any compatibilizer for the polyamide and the polyester, such as an agent of polymeric type, and especially no epoxy resin. Such a fire-retardant polyamide/polyester composition shows good compatibility and good mechanical and fire-retardant properties, especially a good capacity not to form flames in the presence of glowing agents, for example in the field of domestic electrical appliances, electrics and electronics.
