If items in a fireproof safe are purposefully set on fire with a fully closed and locked safe, are contents outside of the safe generally safe from fire?

The safe can be placed in a secluded spot and on stone.

    What are you lighting on fire? Why are you burning it? What’s the problem you’re trying to solve?

    Probably yeah. A fireproof safe will be airtight, so the system can only produce as much energy as whatever reagents you put inside.

      I assume you mean radio frequencies, and the answer is basically none. A grounded fireproof safe is basically a perfect faraday cage.

      EDIT: Ok, I actually have a pedantic answer for this. If you put a microphone on a device inside the safe, you can signal it from outside by sending it vibrations, and you could encode a message in binary and thus technically send it a “digital signal”. If you wanted to be a little more analog you could use Morse code :)

        Yes. Ok well that complicates things, but I suppose a piece of string small enough may be able to dangle out of the closed door and maybe be slightly moved…
