Fireproof is a Player and Team Modification first seen in Season 6.

Effects

When a Player or a Team has the Fireproof modification, they are unable to be Incinerated by Umpires. When an Umpire tries to Incinerate a player, the following message plays out:

Rouge Umpire tried to incinerate (player), but they're Fireproof! The Umpire was incinerated instead!

History

Fireproof Jackets

Fireproof was first seen in the Season 5 Election, via the Fireproof Jacket Blessing, with the following description: Armor. Protect a random Player on your team from Incinerations. The Hades Tigers won the Blessing, and gave the jacket to Mclaughlin Scorpler - in a twist of fate, however, the Tigers also won the Noise-Cancelling Headphones, causing Scorpler to drop the jacket they just acquired and pick up the Headphones instead^[1].

The Fireproof Jacket Blessing reappeared in the Season 6 Election. The Seattle Garages won the Blessing with the following description:

Fireproof Jacket blessed the Seattle Garages.
- Oliver Mueller gained the Fireproof Jacket.
- The Garages had 4% of the votes. The Chicago Firefighters were the highest bidders with 47% of the vote. 15,687 votes were cast.

In the Season 7 Election, the Blessing Scorpler's Jacket was offered, with the same description as the earlier Fireproof Armor blessings. The Canada Moist Talkers won the Blessing, giving Jesús Koch the new Item with the following description:

Scorpler's Jacket blessed the Canada Moist Talkers.
- Jesús Koch gained Mclaughlin Scorpler's Memorial Fireproof Jacket^[2].
- The Moist Talkers had 3% of the votes. The Hades Tigers were the highest bidders with 45% of the votes. 35,551 votes were cast.

Mueller and Koch lost their Fireproof modifications in Season 15, when Armor was retired as part of the Item system overhaul.

Fireproof Teams

The Season 8 Election marked the first instance of Fireproof being a Team Modification. The Blessing Anti Burnout was offered, with the description: Your team is protected from Incinerations for the following season. The Hades Tigers won the Blessing as follows:

Anti Burnout blessed the Hades Tigers.
- The Tigers have covered themselves with Fire-Resistant Foam, and will be immune to Incinerations next season.
- The Team had 10% of the Votes. The Baltimore Crabs were the highest bidders with 26% of the votes. 90,972 votes were cast.

This instance of Team-wide Fireproof was only Seasonal. Fireproof was next seen as a Permanent Team Modification during the Season 10 Election with the Blessing Doctor Smedley's Umpire Cream, with the description: Rub it in. Your Team is permanently Fireproof. The Hades Tigers also won this blessing as follows:

Doctor Smedley's Umpire Cream blessed the Hades Tigers.
- The Tigers have covered themselves with Doctor Smedley's Umpire Cream, and are now immune to Incinerations!
- The Tigers had 35% of the votes and were the highest bidders. 615,442 votes were cast.

While the effects of other forms of incineration immunity (Fire Protector and Fire Eater) were revealed during the Discipline Era, it was not until Season 13 that Fireproof would activate in-game. On Season 13, Day 1, a rogue Umpire attempted to incinerate the Tigers' Mummy Melcon, only for the Umpire to be incinerated instead.

Fireproof in the Expansion Era

The two existing Fireproof players, Jesús Koch and Oliver Mueller, lost Fireproof when Armor was scrapped and the new Item system rolled out at the end of Season 15. Items with the Fireproof Modification began to appear from Community Chests, Prize Matches, and Item drops from Blessings and Gift Shops.

Teams were also able to acquire Fireproof with a Seasonal duration in the Gift Shop from Seasons 18 to 22, making their team Fireproof for the following Lateseason and Postseason. The following teams acquired Fireproof in this manner:

Season	Teams with Fireproof
Season 18	Core Mechanics, Atlantis Georgias, San Francisco Lovers, Chicago Firefighters
Season 19	Mexico City Wild Wings, San Francisco Lovers, Tokyo Lift, Baltimore Crabs, Kansas City Breath Mints, Canada Moist Talkers, Miami Dale
Season 20	Breckenridge Jazz Hands, Miami Dale, Philly Pies, New York Millennials, Mexico City Wild Wings
Season 21	Baltimore Crabs, Hawai'i Fridays, New York Millennials, Houston Spies, Breckenridge Jazz Hands, Chicago Firefighters, Miami Dale, Kansas City Breath Mints, Charleston Shoe Thieves, Tokyo Lift, San Francisco Lovers, Atlantis Georgias, Seattle Garages, Mexico City Wild Wings
Season 22	Chicago Firefighters, Hellmouth Sunbeams, San Francisco Lovers, New York Millennials, Seattle Garages, Ohio Worms, Houston Spies, Yellowstone Magic

The following teams successfully incinerated Umpires while holding the Fireproof modification:

Date	Team	Player targeted	Notes
Season 13, Day 1	Hades Tigers	Mummy Melcon
Season 19, Day 6	Hades Tigers	Paula Turnip
Season 20, Day 99	Kansas City Breath Mints	Mooney Doctor II	Protected by their Frosty Fireproof Glove
Season 21, Day 76	San Francisco Lovers	Theo King
Season 21, Day 82	Atlantis Georgias	Chorby Soul V	Targeted three times on D82.
Season 21, Day 83	Seattle Garages	Oliver Loofah
Season 21, Day 98	Atlantis Georgias	Chorby Soul V	Targeted twice on D98.
Season 24, Day 63	Hades Tigers	Ayanna Dumpington

Trivia

Fire Eating players on Fireproof Teams will activate Fire Eater instead of Fireproof if targeted; they will become Magmatic instead of incinerating the Umpire.
As at the end of the Expansion Era, Mooney Doctor II is the only player to have redirected an Incineration attempt with a Fireproof Item.
