Never store powder in a safe. When it burns the pressure turns your safe into a large bomb

No Sir, but from the stories I've been told from these firemen a lot of people do so.

This! My fireman friends tell me the fire rating is BS marketing. Buy a safe to secure items from dirtbag thieves. Personally agree with old fashioned dial instead of digital/biotech locks.

As others have said.
Fire ratings are not to be relied upon. Nost safes use gypsum (sheetrock). When it gets hot, it undergoes a chemical transformation to release steam. Concrete is a slightly better insulator, but not by much. Keeping your safe against an outside wall will help keep temperatures down. Never store powder or ammo in a safe. That is a bomb waiting to happen.
