Protect your important documents (insurance info, car titles, warranties, etc.) by placing them is a zip lock bag in your freezer. Should a fire occur, they will not be burned.

My father did that for years. When I got married and needed certain documents like my birth certificate, baptismal record and such they were rotted from the moisture levels that change everytime someone opens and closes a freezer to put things in after grocery shopping. I had to take time to go down to the courthouse and call the church to get replacement documents. My father did not look into the box for over 20 years to check it.

I keep all my documents in a fire safe box. Makes more sense to me. If that plastic bag ever gets even a tiny tear in it, the documents could be damaged beyond repair.
