My house is old enough to have (currently redundant) fireplaces. Reading stories like this, I wonder if it would be worth converting them into flameproof storag

  Probably not. You'd have to leave the flue open (there goes heating/cooling) and regularly pay to clean it to make sure nothing nested inside or it won't vent. They don't smother either, so airtight boxes are out too. Focus on fire suppression/escape strategy. The one that burns your house down is going to be some freebie gadget someone else lost in your couch, that you didn't know about to account for.

  You can buy “burn cabinets” designed for this but I wonder if a fire safe would work. If it can keep fire out, can it keep fire in?
