fireproof safe,
but remember, nothing last forever
many fireproof safe are rated one hour, so you need to put out the fire within an hour.Curiously are the fireproof safe heat proof too ?

or move the safe away from the fire within an hour.
Meaning if the fire start while you are away, which is likely the case, by the time you are back, your data are well done right ? keke
lame isn't it?

Sir, why is it lame ? It's how truthful a real fire would be isn't it ? Which is my point fireproof safe is not safe for electronics especially for magnetic devices. Under high heat, the magnetism of the hard disk deteriorate even before the electronic melt.
Ever seen a test where long term storage on such media is simulated (since we don't have any real long term data yet)? You will need to have the right storage conditions (temperature, humidity), otherwise your data are gone.Burn into DVD as much as u can.
Note: jpeg files will lose its data with every modification/usage. Keep RAW files.
