Fireproof is the fifth and last studio album by Irish rock band That Petrol Emotion, released in 1993.[3][4]

Critical reception

MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide listed Fireproof among the band's best work, writing that "Steve Mack's tart, cynical voice is the perfect vehicle for the razor-sharp lyrics."[5] Trouser Press wrote that "the droney, melody-deprived rockers can’t get by strictly on drive, and the album’s parallel attempt to advance the quintet’s Beatlesque pop aspirations is also stymied."[6] Billboard praised the "bruising guitar-driven sound that always stays within the white lines of melody."[2]
