I am using this in my multimedia class. The fire marshalls were in today and asked if it is fireproof. Does anyone know?

Thank you for your quick reply. I guess the fire marshals won't like that answer!

No you should never use material that is not specifically fire proof inside of a computer

Hi K.,Mine has a lot of play too when the door is closed & locked.I think it is part of the design, and cannot be remediated.I believe that it is fine against a fire or theft.However, I think that there a risk a the docs getting wet in case of a flood. Have not tried this hypothesis though. I kept mine. (Did not return it.)CheersCam

No, I doubt this safe is "fireproof". A) because it is made of thin steel plate with no insulation. B) the manufacturer would cheerfully make that claim if it were fireproof. However, it is a wonderful way to lock my rifle/shotgun away from grandchildren who frequently visit my home.

I personally use this item and can vouch for it. The only way this is a fire hazard is if people do not use it correctly. Yes there will be defective units, yes there may be accidents, but overall most fires started by these are caused by people who shouldn't even own pets. Putting a towel over this device or putting stuff around it is not smart at all and is in fact dangerous. The device itself as far as I have seen does not catch fire, and in fact does not produce enough heat TO catch on fire. I put blame on the users, not the item or manufacturer except in the case of defective units sold. Hope this was a reasonable answer. I love this product. UPDATE: Adding to my previous comment, it seems as though there was a curse on this company as a whole bunch of people got faulty devices, poor things. Mine is still working great, no shorts. Seems to me like there were assembly issues within the manufacturer building or they got some terribly made pieces to construct these with. I am only glad that mine was not one of the ill-fated defects!

I don't believe that this safe is "rated" as a fire proof or water proof safe. It's actually a security safe. However, personally I believe it will offer a certain amount of protection against fire and water, at least as much as you would expect a steel box to provide. It's not water tight, so if you immersed it in water it would fill with water very quickly. If you just had a leak in your house and water was dripping onto it, I think it would be ok.

While I am sure it would work without burning anything below the burner, you would be insane to have this anywhere but the ground. There is a reason those safety guidelines exist. Because some moron some time sat this thing on an unstable table or bench or something and burned themselves. Then probably sued the company because there wasn't a little line in the manual saying that you shouldn't do stupid stuff with fire. Twit.

I'm hoping I'll never have to put it to the test! As for water and fireproof, I do not know. As for theft-proof, it is heavy and has no handles. the thief would have to carry it with two hands or on a cart making it rather unwieldy for a quick getaway.

It is water and fire proof. We've been very happy with this safe at our non-profit.

I don't know about it being waterproof, but I use this to teach an hour-long aerobics class. At first, I clipped the transmitter onto my pants. At the end of class, the case was sweaty. I would take out the batteries and leave the case open to dry out. Recently, I ordered the Shure brand belt to go with it. It works well with the belt.

It is neither fireproof nor waterproof. It is fire resistant at 1200 degrees F for 30 minutes, just as about any other safe you will see. There are no specs on water depth or time.Hope this helps.

This is waterproof but not fire proof. I purchase another fireproof folder for around 8 dollars

I can find no information regarding fire rating. The product specs indicate that it is NOT fireproof. The box is steel which will provide some additional time before sympathetic detonation of your cartridges. The simple rule of thumb for ammunition must apply....the interior of this box must be kept below 350 F or you will be at risk of cookoff.

The firestarter can not be ruined unless it is forcefully damaged. It is not affected by water and work perfectly once dried.

I don't know. It says it is. Check with the manufacturer. I will say its heavy, so its probably lined with something fireproof.

This safe is made of steel without the insolarion I'm gonna say it's not fire proof! It is a very nice though . If it were me and your looking for a fire proof safe I would look at one that is actually fire rated.
