Reply To: special document cases as precaution measures for water damage from sprinklers

[Iona McCraith]

I would not recommend use of fire proof cabinets.  In a high heat fire they can become so hot as to disintegrate the contents into ash or very charred documents.  A sprinkler system is your very best, safest, least expensive option.  Consider the value of the irreplaceable documents you are trying to preserve.
