Many people that purchase a fireproof safe expect the same protection from attempted theft. The problem is that the materials that are used in a fireproof safe are very different from those used in a safe for security reasons. Fireboard is not as impervious to hand tools as layers of concrete and steel can be. You should also remember that a safe that is meant solely for security would not protect the contents from high temperatures that are found in a house fire. The Hollon line of fireproof safes does make a fireproof safe that can be bolted to the floor, which might be a good compromise.
