Fireproof Love is a memoir by Gabriel and Precious Alvarado.

They share a profound narrative of surviving the heart-wrenching experience of an industrial accident and how it changed their lives. The story introduces us to Gabe Alvarado, a courageous man who lived through an explosion while working at a Texas refinery. He went through a ball of fire and after a hard and painful recovery came back transformed! The accident may have changed his outer shell, but the inner Gabe is now, fearless, resilient and more optimistic than ever.

His co-author and wife, Precious Alvarado, testifies to that in this book. Her realization of the risks and uncertainties of making life or death decisions on behalf of Gabe will touch your heart. Precious shares the agony of not having discussed the what-ifs of the unthinkable with her husband. They set the mood for readers to contemplate, just how prepared, one needs to be in case tragedy knocks at the door.

Fireproof Love is a story of unconditional love, inspiration, and faith, an eye-opener of how a life-changing event can teach us to:

  • Conquer the unbearable

  • Reach for new heights

  • Turn defeat into triumph

  • Adapt to moving on with a "new normal"

    After the accident, Gabe is a sought-after inspirational speaker, bringing messages

    of safety to new employees in refineries and chemical companies all over

    the world. Using his experience, emotional and physical pain, plus key learnings, he

    delivers powerful motivational speeches to improve workplace safety. He also

    speaks on the topic of conquering hardships and setbacks at work and home. But

    the impactful effect of his speeches is enticing audiences to live in the now, with

    passion, purpose and safety consciousness.
