Oh I don't know - maybe if it keeps your handgun away from any kids you might have so they don't shoot themselves in the face - maybe that's what makes it such a good safe. This safe allows for quick access to your handgun while fitting in your night stand. It's not meant to be fireproof - its meant to secure you handgun. Oh by the way Costco does not have any safes this size that have biometric entry for half the cost. I can't believe I've spent time responding to this douchey question.

Fireproof IS NOT heat proof! The safe itself may last through the fire, but NOTHING INSIDE WILL. Trust me, I know this well after the contents of 5 "fireproof" safes were destroyed when a fire took one of my family's homes. The safes survived. The things inside, especially paper, cannot withstand the heat. Look into it. Most fireproof safes can only withstand the heat for a few minutes - sorry, that's worthless.

I don't think so I don't remember reading it but the cost of it was so low I can't imagine it being fireproof. Sorry.

It is water proof to some extent. Its not 1300 linens but more like 200/250. Costco sells a 4 pack 250 lumen flashlight for about 20 and they run on regular batteries. The batteries cost alot for this if you need to replace the and the light dims with use so its brightest right after a charge. I keep this in my truck for emergency use but use that Costco one all the time because its less hassle.

First make sure you are talking about the Big Red Campfire (58035) and not the Little Red Campfire as there is only a $159 price difference in the larger Camco Campfire. I compared the 2 the best I could and found the following: * Campfire in a Can has a slighlty larger diameter vs. Big Red Campfire - 15" vs. 13.25" * Big Red Campfire has up to 65,000 BTU vs. 64,000 for Camp Fire In a Can * Both have 10' hoses with regulators * Both have one piece logs * Both have an insulated bottom * The Big Red is slighlty heavier * Warranty for Big Red is 1 year while Camp Fire in a Can has something called Happy Camper Guarentee??? * Have to buy seperate cooking rack for Big Red campfire I cannot say why a $159 difference in the Big Red campfire 58035 and is why I purchased the Big Red Campfire. I can buy 2 of the Big red Campfires for the price of 1 Camp Fire in a Can.

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?

I do not know. It has been well over a month and I am yet to receive the safe. The supplier keeps responding that it is back ordered. Very disappointing! Not at all up to Amazon"s standards. Oh yeah, my credit card account has been charged.

Excellent safe for fire and water protection but not for security. Will prevent access by children, snoops, and amateur thieves. Experienced, capable thief will defeat both the combination lock and key lock, or just haul away. I keep the key in my safe for that reason. Recommend for important documents but not for valuables.

Owning a fire extinguisher is like owning smoke detectors. You replace your battery every year, and you should have your fire extinguisher inspected/serviced every year too. It's not that expensive and keeps your gear in shape to use if you need it. I will say that this model is a VERY nice one. It's not the plastic types you find at the cheap mart. I only buy this type because of the quality and capacity. Yes, I've used them before and when you need it you want it to work. I say this because the 6 year warranty is only a small matter. It's the yearly inspection/servicing that is key. And you should get decades of service out of this model. Owning a fire extinguisher is like owning smoke detectors.

Are you asking for a representative from Amazon to share where they secure this item for sale? Because if you're asking me (as an individual purchaser) the answer would have to be Amazon. I've seen other reviewers indicate Kirkland is a brand sold by Costco, but I don't have a membership there so cannot verify that.

I think its a great price but everyone's situation is different. Google the item to ensure you're comfortable with the price before purchase. As for danger and best size . . .I admit, it looks something like a nuclear containment vessel and when I purchased mine two years ago, had similar concerns. Reading the manual from cover to cover gave me the confidence to try it out and I LOVE it. Which size depends on your personal or family needs. Best size for me may or not be the best size for you. My husband and I are empty nesters and I have a microwave oven over my range hood. The first factor gave me a ball park size but the second dictated which would work. I'd recommend googling the free PDF of the owner's manual and read it before making the purchase. But if you already know you need one, All American pressure canners are the best and safest on the market.

While this is a durable, all-steel safe, it is not listed as fire proof. If for no other reason, the open slot at the front would make it non-fire proof. See http://www.sentrysafe.com/Products/287/UC-039K_Drop_Slot_Safe for details--they only list the security icon. You could find a fire proof safe under their Fire-Safe category, and then see if it's available on Amazon. Best of luck!

No I would not consider this safe to be fire proof. I do use the safe daily and sure like it.

Hi, They are not. But almost no safe is designed for that. In case of fire, the safe will be a loss and have to be drille dopen after the fire. However the content in the safe will be "hopefully" safe. But even here I have my doubt in case of Sentry, but luckily no proof yet ...

Just what do you mean when asking if "the batteries are protected">? I have bought over 12 of these flashlights as gifts and for my home, car, etc and never had a problem with the flashlights or batteries. If you are that concerned why not take it to a battery shop, have them look at it, and respond to your question?

Safe works good for me and they do say in the manual that its not for jewelry firearms and valuables that could corrode with moisture because the safe is fireproof moisture will build up in it and for that reason I bought a silica gel can that I put in it and recharge when it needs recharging

I didn't actually fallow through on my purchase of this safe . The one I ordered said it had a combination lock however it came with a digital so I sent it back . I instead ordered an American security 5517 . It cost me a few hundred more but it has almost five feet of interior height x19 wide by 13.5 deep . It is a much bigger safe and yet it still isn't big enough .if you are like me you will find all kinds of things you want secured and the little stack on just doesn't allow for enough room . The stack on would be ok for a work place storage compartment but isn't much better than a locking file cabinet . Save your money and get a real safe ..... By that I mean a fire rated gun safe with 3 to 4 times the capacity you think you need . You'll fill it up lol

Please read this! I bought one of those cheap stoves from Amazon and it started up with a 4 foot flame. Nearly burned myself and the forest down. Scary!! There is a difference buying a cheap stove - they aren't regulated the same way. At least when you buy a name brand, they have to stand by their product. Will never buy generic again when it comes to something where safety is involved.
