If you have a lot of paper documents, you might choose to keep them in a storage unit. This is a great option, since storage units are easily accessible, safe, and secure. However, it’s normal to worry about what would happen to your documents in light of a natural disaster or crisis, especially a fire. Here are some tips to help you safely store your documents and give you peace of mind. 

1. Place them in a fireproof safe. 

Investing in a safe is the most important step! They’re designed to remain intact, even if a fire happens. You can place wills, titles, tax forms, and cash in these safes. 

2. Place the safe in a strategic location.
Fireproof safes aren’t indestructible. This is why you have to place them in a strategic location. Store your safe in a low point on the ground, since fire rises as it spreads.
