With a high degree of confidence in these types of safes, as a state certified firefighter, your investment will probably be the last thing standing if the house burns to the slab...Some of the contents might very well be scorched, but that depends on what you put in there...
I put my safe in a one story house, in a spare bedroom that doubles as our office against an out side structural wall, right next to a big bedroom window...
There are just certain things that happen during such a tragedy, yet if you get a good response from the FD, most times we can ventilate and reduce the damage to the structure from those points around your home...We can pull the fire up through a controlled (ing) method of "trenching" a roof and give a path for the fire to work its way to that point and not look to spread to other fuel rich places in your home...
Just don't keep a lot of ammo and other paper combustables in the safe with those investments as well...
BTW, I let the newbies work the fires now...I deliever the wet stuff they need to get that done now...
