A method for preventing damage caused by a fire includes extinguishing the fire by applying a fireproof composition to the fire. The fireproof composition is constituted as an aqueous composition comprising at least one sugar and magnesium chloride (MgCl2). The fire can be a forest, domestic, or industrial fire. The composition can also be applied to protect a product against fire.
