Because, you know, the purge.Sounds like a good time to have a talk with the wife why you need to invest in a "safe room" below grade.

Here is what I found when I got mine open:

Labor Day will be the 10 year anniversary of that life changing event.
I wound not count on ANY gun safe you can commercially buy as being a safe place for firearms in the event of a major fire. If I lived in an area where wild fires were burning and could force me to evacuate, I'd have everything I wanted to keep and protect loaded in my escape vehicle and ready to roll.A recent discussion with a firefighter in my community revealed their inability to access and fight a brushfire-turned-forest fire in the vicinity of my home. (Lack of access. Lack of infrastructure, etc.)
Currently devising a "ready, set, go" plan for my home. (Yeah. I get it. Where have I been the last few years?)
If I essentially abandon my guns in the safe, to what extent will they be damaged? Will I come back to find only the barrels and receivers? Will the wood stocks (or the polymer frames) or the plastic survive?
What do I do with my ammo?

Seriously making me nervous about this kind of stuff now. How did it start? Was it a wildfire or something else? I worry about an electrical fire with our old home.
Six month drought, 20% humidity, 50 mph winds, and a tree fell on a power line. 34,000 acres burned 2000ish structures and only 2 lives lost. The house collapsed on my safe turning it into a dutch oven that cooked for two weeks.
