Are fire-resistant filing cabinets also water-resistant?

Some fire-resistant cabinets offer limited water resistance through their insulated construction — the same thermal lining that slows heat transfer also resists water infiltration during sprinkler system activation. However, 'waterproof' is not a standard classification for filing cabinets. If water damage is a concern, store documents in sealed plastic bags or containers within the cabinet.
