Are mobile pedestals fire-resistant?

Standard mobile pedestals — whether steel or laminate — are not fire-rated in the sense of UL-listed fireproof safes or cabinets. They provide no meaningful protection to their contents in a building fire. If you need fire-protected document or media storage, a dedicated fire-rated filing cabinet or safe (rated for 1-hour or 2-hour fire protection per UL 72 or equivalent) is required. Mobile pedestals are suitable for everyday working document storage where fire protection is not a specific requirement.
