FYI, there is a world of BS around "fire proof" anything. It's all about the time it's around fire.

If your house burns to the ground and collapses in on itself, the extreme majority of fire proof safes, aren't. If the fire dept shows up and it's out in an hour and it wasn't buried, your things will probably be alright.

I dealt with a guy's gun collection stored in his $10,000 "fire proof" safe stored in his garage. Almost everything was garbage. Saved a handful of parts here and there.



Exactly. Given enough time the inside of the safe will be the same temperature as the outside.


No, man, it's like insulated and stuff!
