Nothing is fireproof. As you may have noticed, you can improve your home
security container by lining it with dry wall on the outside.


That is an intresting concept. " lining on the outside " .
Havent seen that done yet. :-)



Standard practice in the UK. Not on the "outside outside", but if you
have a garage space that's inside the outside walls of a house, you
need a couple of layers of drywall (aka plasterboard) fastened up on
the _fire_ side of the structure. And that's for our style of house
construction with real bricks too, not US ticky-tacky boxes!
