Yes, I used to do that also.False floor in bottom of a big freezer. Pretty safe down there in a bsmt
Don’t forget to let us know what your final decision is.Yes, I used to do that also.
I'm not too worried about fire as we are quite conscience with regards to fire safety. I'm mostly concerned about thieves and break and enter type circumstances. The dog is no help as he is way over friendly. With upcoming events it is hard to say what will be the next big movement people will use to survive whether it is for drugs, food, etc..
Good information above and thanks guys. I'll let some of that sink in and make a decision.
You are a sharp one!Don’t forget to let us know what your final decision is.
Thanks Ray, and as stated with thousands of house fires I've been too over the years any substantial fire the safe is destroyed if not the items in side are Burt to a crisp. Some can be interesting especially the shells.Paper chars at approximately 400 degrees, and guns are damaged when temperatures exceed 500 degrees, so it is recommended that the internal temperature of a safe should never exceed 350 degrees.
The average house fire burns at a temperature of about 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit, which isn't hot enough to destroy most metals and earthly-made substances.
The metal would sort of survive. Anything inside would get baked.
