A fire bunker must be made out of appropriate materials. Some options:
Concrete: Reinforced concrete set into the ground deep enough so as to not be compromised (explode) from intense fire
Wood: Built underground similar to a basement. Very thick timbers that char rather than burn rapidly, buying you time while the fire front passes
Prefabricated: Specialized concrete reinforced with steel. Often modular in design and sometimes available as kits. Completely buried or partially exposed.
