is this good for fires? it seems like the coding system would mess up if a fire hit it

Gave as gift so cannot answer. I read reviews and specs, and it seemed like a good choice.

I don't think it would be real good in a fire. I'll take some heat and potect the contents. The keys are the backup if the key pad is damaged.Over all I'm very happy with this product. Mine is basically for my loaded pistol keeping it safe from misuse.

Just so you're happy with it....It's a matter of safety....after the fire occurs...it's a little too late.....I'll bet you have Life Insurance and haven't used that either.

I would say yes only if you have a very small and controlled fire, like a fire log. It is high enough off the ground not to cause issues, but, keep it covered when burning, and do not leave unattended.

To be honest I've wondered about that myself. I just figured that since it's certified fireproof that it's ok or maybe even necessary. Have you attempted to ask the company?

Well, I guess you could wrap this in a plastic bag which would offer some protection for water proofing. I can understand your concern though with a forest fire. They do burn hotter than a normal house fire. This safe works for me and is very nice and roomy inside.

I'm not an expert on electrical or fire 'codes', but I highly suspect that this warning is a standard kind of legal 'disclaimer' -- i.e. if a fire can be traced to defective wiring in this device, the manufacturer will claim that it is the customer's fault for keeping it plugged-in all the time. Furthermore, it is probably reasonable to assume that the cheaper the appliance is, the more likely it will be subject to some kind of electrical "accident."

I've used an older set directly over the fire for several years. It will warp and discolor but will work fine. Really, it's a cheap mess kit, you're not going to cry if it gets ruined.

Not fire proof I wouldn't think. But it has worked for us and we like the night drop door. Not real high quality but it works for our purpose of collecting night drop keys.

The NFPA could not certify this because it's not a supplied air unit. That is why firefighters use SCBAs. It would be dangerous to trust your life to this in an oxygen deprived environment... Such as near a fire. My team and I use these to protect ourselves while cleaning up mold, water, and fire damage... After the fire is put out.

I am no expert, but that doesn't sound good at all. For me, sparks could cause fires. Have it seen to.

Unlikely. We have ours in an office building right under the fire and smoke detector and have had zero issues. Also, we had our local maint. guy test the air temp during operation and found little difference.

I would assume it has a fire rating,.as it is designed for use over hot areas, and as for out door use, I have had two installed outdoors in a covered patio area that still look new 3 years later

mine caught on fire. be careful and don't leave it on while you leave the house!

I would NOT use this. Ours caught fire because it was broken and we didn't know it.

Robert, I'm not a fire safety code expert or a fire expert in general, so I cannot answer your questions sufficiently. My recommendation would be to call your local University and Fire Station to ask them this question. With regard to the chair itself, it is a wonderful chair as advertised and one of the best investments I've made in my home office.

No it's not fireproof. It's just sheet metal with some foam padding. There's no fire-proofing material of any sort.

I see nothing listed contact the manufacturer. You can give it a shot but doubt it will pass any fire code its is not intended for that. I do not think it is bright enough.
