If you look at auction houses - particularly those who liquidate businesses
gone bust - some suitable fire/etc proof cabinets do occasionally come up at
a small fraction of what they were new. Granted you have to have the floor
space and a solid floor to put one on. Obviously the more you have to store,
the larger the cabinet you'll need. It is something that you can have some
control over if you really want too, depending on how much it is a worry to
you.
