the fire is reddish orange from photos, so the temperature should be around 1000 degrees celsius

you will be safe with borosilicate glass. this is used in research institutes and in space shuttle exterior claddings. autoclavable and melts at 1700 degrees Celsius

Even if the fireproof glass can withstand the heat, the frame holding the glass may not and may melt under the heat.

Glass is technically not fire rated. Must be reinforced with wall and thick. And need to be cooled.

seriously, you can try to buy a few of this and place it in location you feel are a high risk area that on 24/7 like extension plug that is on 24/7, your fridge, router, battery storage area, ** box etc....
