I remember a commentator in a previous thread mentioned something like... 'In NY "Fire-Proof" buildings can be built like that', when they're built out of materials that do not burn and in ways where the fire cannot spread. Effectively the safer place in a fire, in theory, would be to shelter in place as it cannot spread. I'm all for using as many non-burning materials as possible in building construction.
