    There are fireproof briefcases. I think buying one would give you some peace of mind about your papers.

        My understanding is that when a house is on fire,

        • the water damage from the firefighters cause damage.

        • Also the fire is normally “moved” with some fun airflow physics that firefighters learn, so the damage from burning is somewhat contained (hopefully).

        • also a fire burns up, so something insulated underneath where the fire is could last a long time with little damage.

        Based on these reasons, I expect that the briefcase could help keep your documents safe.
