Hello all!

Thanks to all for your invaluable knowledge and experience.  Where would any of us be without our colleagues?

I am considering the difference(s) between the two terms "fire-resistant" and "fire-proof" and have hit a crossroad.

In my mind, "fire-resistant" allows me to think I have a brief span of time whereby impacted records are in danger, but could be okay, if the fire is brought under control within 2 hours.  Whereas, "fire-proof" does not exist in 99% of cases.

Am I correct?  Or are there cabinets/vaults that truly ARE "fire-proof" that won't cost a ton of gold?  That is, unless Larry Medina is in charge of the vault, and EVERYTHING is secured!

Thank you for your input.

Alice
