The quality or state of being fireproof; the degree to which something resists burning or fire damage.
From 'fireproof' plus the abstract noun suffix '-ness' (from Old English '-nes'). A rare technical term for measuring fire resistance.
Engineers now measure fireproofness using standardized tests where materials are exposed to extreme heat under controlled conditions—this scientific approach replaced guess-work and has saved countless lives!
