Common ratings include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>30 minutes fire protection<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>60 minutes fire protection<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>90 minutes fire protection<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>120 minutes fire protection<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The rating indicates how long internal temperatures remain below critical damage thresholds.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Paper vs Data Protection<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-paper-vs-data-media-protection\">Paper vs Data Media Protection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all fire safes protect digital media.
