Fireproof gun safes are specially-designed gun safes that are designed to protect your guns in the event of a fire. There are two things you need to worry about - the fire, and the water used to put it out. Fireproof gun safes usually carry a rating that is specified in hours. For example, a 1 hour fireproof rating means that the safe has been subjected to a 1700 degree F fire for a period of 1 hour, and the temperature inside the safe did not rise above 350 degrees F. In addition, the humidity did not rise above 80%. These are low enough levels to protect your guns and ammunition from permanent damage.
Fireproof gun safes are available in a wide range of sizes. Most offer rack-type storage for rifles and shotguns and convenient shelves for storing pistols and ammunition. They feature special insulating material designed to keep the temperature low during a fire, and heat-activated expanding door seals to keep out water. The most common fire ratings available are 1 and 2 hour fireproof ratings. A gun safe is a good idea under any circumstance, so why not invest in one that is fireproof?
