A safe rated at 1200 degrees at 60 minutes means that under those conditions, your items will not burn (could be ruined however pending the item). You can add extra protection w/ pouches or material in the safe to increase the protection. I live in the suburbs and have the safe in an area on concrete flooring that should be managed quickly since there isn't much there that will burn by the time the 5 minutes it takes for fire response by big fire engines. I was told by different safe companies to get at least a 60 minute rating at 1200 degrees. Firemen didn't have much to say other than we just put the fire out and have no idea if the materials in the safe made it or not.
