So in the last year I’ve had a friend that his friend lost his house in a fire, and one of my friends lost his house in a fire.
The friends friend had a dial safe and was able to open it, my friend had a electronic safe and wasn’t able to open it.
But with the right equipment it was opened with no damage to the contents.
Both safes had water, smoke intrusion, and corrosion on the guns to varying degrees, but the safes basically did their jobs.
My friends safe had paper that turned brown to blackish, and plastic covers on it that didn’t melt, cash money wash in perfect condition, some silver coins were tarnished from the heat I guess, or the water that got on them, plastic on guns wasn’t damaged, one knife wooden handle was darker than the part covered by the sheath, chip board shelves were warped, and the ammo in the safe didn’t cook off.
One take away is that electronic safes are just not smart to own due to fires, plus the off chance we get in a war where an EMP is used on us.
Any one else have any experience with safes they want to pass along?
