Is a fireproof cabinet still usable after being in a fire?

After a fire, the cabinet's insulating compound may have partially activated (absorbed heat and released moisture), reducing its future protective capacity. The structural integrity may also be compromised. Most manufacturers and fire safety experts recommend replacing a fireproof cabinet that has been through a fire rather than relying on it for continued protection. The contents may be recoverable even when the cabinet itself is considered end-of-life. OfficeFurniture2go.com — call 1-800-460-0858 for replacement guidance after a fire event.
