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.
