· A home safe that is used to house paper documents should not reach any temperature hotter than 350 degrees on its interior.
· Other materials that may be concealed in a home safe, like 35 millimeter film slides or computer discs and DVD’s for example, should not exceed temperatures hotter than about 125 degrees on the inside.
· Fire resistant home safes tend to be able to withstand 30 minutes in a fire, when the average fire moves through a room in 20 minutes. The 30 minute fire resistant safe protection should be sufficient.
