[QUOTE="JBK, post: 17210, member: 1101"]A couple random thoughts to keep in mind: Most (all?) “fire proof” safes work by means of liquid in the walls of the safe which expand to seal the door. The inside of these safes will become wet or at least heavily humid in a fire. As for bank safe deposit boxes, if you kick the bucket the box gets sealed until the estate can inventory it.
