Statistically Speaking...

you're more likely to experience a property-damaging fire than burglary, which is why Safe and Vault Store offers a wide selection of fireproof safes. If you live in a high crime area, you have the option of a high-security safe. If you want to cover all contingencies, combination burglar / fire safes are available. For the average homeowner, however, fire is a greater threat than theft.

 

According to FEMA...

Over $9.4 billion worth of value was lost to residential fires alone in the year 2023, a record high. The leading cause of house fires is carelessness followed by causes such as electrical malfunction, open flames, heating systems, cooking and intentionally started fires. Although you've likely never been victim of a house or business fire, being prepared is the best thing you can do to protect yourself and those you love.

Understanding Fireproof Safe Ratings

No safe is truly "Fireproof"

FireKing KF5322-1WHE One Hour Fire Rated Safe

Safes aren't "fireproof", they're fire resistant!No safe is truly "fireproof". This is a blanket term used within the industry. Safes are designed to hold up against heat from a fire for a specified amount of time while keeping the interior temperature under 350 degrees fahrenheit, or 176 degrees celcius. This is well under the combustion point of most paper goods such as cash and documents.

 

3rd party fire ratings are the best! There are many different fire resistance ratings you may find on safes are issued bu UL, ETL, KIS or JIS. These are 3rd party fire ratings which are considered to be the most robust and least biased, but they are expensive to obtain.

 

Factory fire ratings can be good too! Some manufacturers perform their own fire tests in order to save money so they can provide customers with high quality products at a good price. If you're considering a safe with a factory fire rating, make sure the manufacturer lists the temperatures the safe is tested at to determine if it's the right fit for you.

 

Not all fireproof safes offer good security!There are many fireproof safes that are designed for the sole purpose of protecting your valuablefrom devastating fires while only offering a mild degree of burglary protection. If you're concerned for the security of your items we'd recommend checking out our Burglar Fire Safes category.

 

Digital media requires special fire protection! If you're looking for a safe to protect hard drives, flash drives, CD's, magnetic tapes or similar media,your average fire safe just won't cut it. There's a special category of safes known as Data Media Safes which are designed to keep the safes internal temperature under 125 degrees fahrenheit, or 51 degrees celcius to ensure this type of media is protected in the event of a serious fire.

Frequently Asked Fireproof Safe Questions

 

Are Fireproof Safes Actually Fireproof?

No safe is truly "fireproof". This is a blanket term used within the industry. Safes are designed to hold up against heat from a fire for a specified amount of time while keeping the interior under a specified temperature.

 

Will Money Survive In A Fireproof Safe?

Yes, money can survive in a fireproof safe. Most fireproof safes are designed to keep the interior temperature under 350 degrees fahrenheit when exposed to heat from a fire for the amount of time specified in the safes rating. Paper USD begins to burn at approximately 450 degrees fahrenheit. You must consider factors such as the material your house is made from and your local fire response time when purchasing a safe.

 

Do Fireproof Safes Work If A House Burns To The Ground?

Few safes can protect contents in the event that the building it's inside of burns all the way to the ground, but it is possible. Safes with very high fire ratings such as UL Class 350 2-hour ratings offer the best possible chance of protecting your valuables in that situation.

 

Where Should I Put My Fireproof Safe?

If you're primary concern is fire protection and not security, your fireproof safe should be placed on a concrete floor such as in a garge or basement and ideally not inside a closet, under a stairway or in other areas with lots of combustable material. These places may not be ideal if security is concern, so you must take many factors into account when choosing a location for your fireproof safe.

 

Why Does My Safe Smell Like Mold Or Mildew?

Often times moisture is introduced into your safe with the contents you place inside. This moisture is unable to escape the safe and can lead to a mildew smell or even mold on paper good and corrosion on metals. A properly sized dessicant packet will help avoid this issue.
