Fireproof vs. Heat Proof

I'm pretty sure that's not the intent.

How do other GMs deal with this variance

I absolutely allow Fireproofing to be expansive, and it seems natural to me to do so. I won't have it protect against sunburn, since sunburn isn't a "heat" effect but a UV effect, but yes, against being boiled in tar, immersed in lava, or bathed in live steam - or against sunstroke.

Mileage obviously varies here. I see the other views expressed in this thread as peculiarly crabbed, and the other posters no doubt see my view as wildly generous.
