My family’s legal documents are being kept somewhere at home, and its kinda weird to think about, like zero security, I doubt its even fireproof, definitely not waterproof, some flood is gonna destroy it.

There’s a fire station like… idk… less than 10 minute drive away (probably like 5 minute drive I think), I hope that’s quick enough
then again, what are the odds of actually having a fire? 👀
as someone who lives 5 minutes from a fire station and had a house fire. 5 minutes is a loooong time to have a house fire.
put a hotdog in the flame of a campfire for 5 minutes. then add another 3 minutes for actions taken after they arrive on scene.
is your hotdog edible?
That was our feeling, too - if we did lose everything, we have digital backups of those documents. The chances are obviously low of having a fire, but that’s not really the point… the intent is to plan for the “what if” scenario. If you want 100% fire safety, you store things off-site, but this was an acceptable level of risk for the cost, for us. You mention floods; these boxes are rated for much longer in water, so they might be applicable to your use-case.
