Burlap is NOT fireproof and you can not use it for fireproofing unless it is well treated with fire retardant chemicals. It is made from dry jute, which is very flammable.

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.
