If items in a fireproof safe are purposefully set on fire with a fully closed and locked safe, are contents outside of the safe generally safe from fire?

The safe can be placed in a secluded spot and on stone.

Probably yeah. A fireproof safe will be airtight, so the system can only produce as much energy as whatever reagents you put inside.

If you put some slow burning rocket fuel in there, and it begins to ignites one day. The inside of the safe will probably melt, smoke will ruin your entire house, but it shouldn’t burn down the whole thing.

Actually, this brings up an interesting alternate use for an old safe like that. If your old fireproof safe is broken, or you lost the key or whatever, you could turn it into a fireplace of sorts. Just flip it the door side up, throw in some logs and a place a large pan on top. May look a bit ghetto style, but who cares as long as the wok veggies and meat taste good.

Ok, that’s a good point and something appreciated insight.

Notice that a battery fire will produce it's own oxygen.
