<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MNcollector, post: 365908, member: 13565&quot;]I believe some of the smaller portable fire/water safes have a foam sort of strip around the edges.&nbsp; When they get hot they expand and prevent water from getting in the safe.&nbsp; All UL rated fire safes should have the temp and time rating on them somewhere.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know if this will actually work, but personally I have a huge fireproof gun safe in the basement (just under 600 lbs empty).&nbsp; From there I have most of my stuff sitting on shelves, but I also have a smaller fire/water proof safe that fits in there as well.&nbsp; I keep my most valuable documents, currency, and a few higher prices coins in there.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure if it will work, but here is my thought... The large safe will prevent most of the heat from getting in there for a while.&nbsp; If that temp gets compromised I am hoping that the smaller safe will still last a while after that since the internal temp of the large safe should not get critically hot until a while has passed - thus giving me a little longer for the most critical documents/coins.&nbsp; Anyone follow my though process there?&nbsp; Like I said I do not know if it would actually work, and I hope I never have an opportunity to test it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
