          That’s for sure, there is no interest to anyone that you go around without documents. And documents with moneys interest usually have even five copies around the offices and databases. In an house burning saving documents to me looks insane, even cringe in this modern society.

      There are fireproof briefcases. I think buying one would give you some peace of mind about your papers.

          My understanding is that when a house is on fire,

          • the water damage from the firefighters cause damage.

          • Also the fire is normally “moved” with some fun airflow physics that firefighters learn, so the damage from burning is somewhat contained (hopefully).

          • also a fire burns up, so something insulated underneath where the fire is could last a long time with little damage.

          Based on these reasons, I expect that the briefcase could help keep your documents safe.

    My computer, a lot of files on there I don’t want to lose. I have them backed up to other hard drives, but in the same computer. So I need to save the computer.

      Dude. A backup in the same computer is not a “backup”. You should have a separate network attached storage (nas) and a script like syncthing backing up to a different hard drive (the nas). If you don’t want to do it yourself, you can buy a all in one device that has the software and hard drive all in one.

        If you are not saving things to a remote location, you will lose all your shit in a flood or fire. Remote storage has gotten cheap enough to make it practical.

        Hetzner storage boxes cost 3.8€/month for 1TB, which is more than enough for the important things people have.

        Backblaze is 70$/year for unlimited data.

          That’s why I’m saving my computer as my one thing. ;)

    I guess grabbing the fire safe would be a waste of an item, but that’s where I keep all the stuff that needs to survive a fire…

    …so maybe a bottle of water from the fridge? For me; not the fire.
