If items in a fireproof safe are purposefully set on fire with a fully closed and locked safe, are contents outside of the safe generally safe from fire?
The safe can be placed in a secluded spot and on stone.
I know nothing about safes, let alone fireproof safes, but I’d guess that pressure may be an issue, if not a lack of oxygen for the fire to burn through.
Well if the safe is airtight then the fire will stop as soon as the safe is closed because there needs to be oxygen for fire to spread
There are other oxidizing agents that xan maintain fire.
If you fill a safe with rocket fuel and ignite it, the safe is not guaranteed to contain the result.
What are you lighting on fire? Why are you burning it? What’s the problem you’re trying to solve?
Probably yeah. A fireproof safe will be airtight, so the system can only produce as much energy as whatever reagents you put inside.
If you put some slow burning rocket fuel in there, and it begins to combust one day. The inside of the safe will probably melt, smoke will ruin your entire house, but it shouldn’t burn down the whole thing.
Actually, this brings up an interesting alternate use for an old safe like that. If your old fireproof safe is broken, or you lost the key or whatever, you could turn it into a fireplace of sorts. Just flip it the door side up, throw in some logs and a place a large pan on top. May look a bit ghetto style, but who cares as long as the wok veggies and meat taste good.
Ok, that’s a good point and something appreciated insight.
Notice that a battery fire will produce it’s own oxygen.
Just a reminder these safes are not actually fireproof. They are fire resistant and people should check what they are rated for before buying.
the fire will die as there will be no oxygen in the safe.
Just put an oxygen tank in it too, easy!
That really depends on the safe but for the most part it should be. It would probably ruin the safe as the inside is probably not fire resistant but also the fire would probably choke out as the safe should be airtight. As for signal penetration, again depends on the safe but I believe that most safes have some layer of thick metal, which should block all signals.
Thanks a lot
