Fireproof Bags vs. a Camping Torch: Protecting Cash

Can a fireproof bag protect cash from direct flame? This test puts a 3-pack of Lihengkong fireproof money bags up against a camping torch to see what survives.

What to know

  • Fireproof bags slow heat down; they are not a replacement for a fire-rated safe.
  • Inside a gun safe, a bag adds a second layer for papers, cash and passports.
  • The zipper and seams are the weak points, so check how they hold up in the test.
  • A multi-pack lets cash, IDs and passports go in separate bags.
