Sometimes an area is burned to create what is called a fire break. If a dangerous fire is spreading, you may be able to create an area where there is nothing left to burn, which will stop the fire from moving through that area. Of course, you have to do this very carefully, because any fire can spread if it is not well controlled. But this technique can be done successfully, by people who know what they are doing.

Is it possible to build a fire proof building?

No. You can help fire proof a building. But there is always a chance it can catch on fire somehow. Fire sprinklers are only used to keep the fire under control so it doesn't spread...they are not used to put the fire entirely out. Firefighters are for that. Anything that you use to fire proof a building is only used to keep the fire under control until the Firefighters arrive. The closest you can get to a fireproof building is a brick one with a terracotta tile roof.
