How long should a gun safe be fireproof?
We recommend that you purchase a minimum 1 hour fire rated safe. Safes with less than a 1 hour fire rating will not provide adequate protection to survive a typical home or business fire.
Do fireproof gun safes really work?
In most home fires where the walls collapsed, the contents of “fireproof” gun safe have totally burned up. But you can also find some examples where cheap fireproof gun safes made it through less serious fires with no loss. In some fires, gun safes with thick steel but absolutely no fire insulation survived.

Is 30 minute fire rating enough?
For home safes, 30 minutes of protection is most common, although you can also find safes that offer one or more hours’ worth, typically with higher price tags. Generally speaking, 30 minutes should be sufficient, Bonsib says. “Fires tend to move through a home, so 20 minutes is about the average in a room or an area.”
Will paper burn in a gun safe?
American dollars burn at a temperature of 450 degrees F. So if a safe is left in flames hot enough for long enough, the interior of the safe can reach temperatures high enough to cause paper money to combust.
