preventive measures to be taken to resist earthquake in terms of detailing of reinforcements (ductlity, confinements, etc) and increased sectional properties of concrete memers, etc.. If the building is said to be EQ resistant building, it means EQ loads are to be included in the analysis and design..and the same should be implemented in to the site/construction.

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.
