Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

That certainly doesn't sound like the first thing to get utterly torched in a house fire.
I actually keep them (minus appliance stuff because I just find them online and download the pdf and never found them that important) in a fireproof safe. Honestly, it's not a lot of stuff, and so the safe is really small. It didn't cost much at all but you do have to replace it like every 10ish years since fireproof doesn't last forever.
...this. Let's have a talk about basic security and prevention, because it's important.
First of all, I wanted to factor in prices, but according to this webpage, the replacement social security cards should be free. However. I wouldn't know from personal experience, and cannot verify.
By a combination of a small miracle, some neglect, and then some careful choices to safeguard it...I still have my original SS card. I would recommend getting a little passport case or something, and some metal plates or hard plastic cards to keep the SS card from bends/creases. Then you can place it in a blaze barrier document bag like this one. No, you don't need this exact one, all I did was type in 'blaze barrier document bag' into Amazon because that's the branding on mine. I just looked at it. $20 bag, goes a long way keeping that card safe & unmolested.
Those bags aren't entirely fireproof & it's only one layer; they've done extreme tests & the contents can (possibly) become slightly torched. That's where you can buy a shitty 90s fireproof lockbox for next to nothing secondhand, I know I've got at least 2 & I think one was $5 & the other $10. Arguably more effective than the bag, my friend's house burned down but he had a shitty 90s fireproof lockbox & it kept his personal documents & pictures of his deceased mother fully intact.
We're not looking to confound master thieves with a safe, we're just looking to safeguard SS cards and/or pics of dead moms. π FB Marketplace, I found ones for $10-15 in IL, KY, MO. Everybody has these shitty 90s fireproof lockboxes. No excuse. Put the document(s) in the bag, and the bag in the shitty 90s fireproof lockbox. Double protection.

Also noteworthy: fireproof concrete lined filing cabinets (I recommend FireKing), sometimes you can find them cheap used because they're a heavy nuisance item. If you have a basement, put the fireproof/resistant stuff in your basement or ground floor. It's more stable there & should survive.
Then for those interested in the eccentric & the extreme, dive down the rabbithole known as Starlite fireproof coatings. While we may never know the exact formulation of this wonder material as it was presented, it turns out Maurice Ward merely rediscovered the lost art of intumescent materials that release layers of carbon char when exposed to heat. You can buy intumescent paint like this one & it'll essentially fireproof any material you paint!
So in conclusion, yes, you can buy fire resistant filing cabinets. Even "fireproof" ones. And safes, and lockboxes, and document bags, and even intumescent paint. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
