Can I count on a mobile pedestal to protect documents from fire damage?

Mobile pedestals — whether steel or laminate — aren't built for fire protection, so they won't keep contents safe in the event of a building fire. If protecting sensitive documents matters, you need a dedicated fire-rated cabinet or safe rated to UL 72 standards (1-hour or 2-hour protection). Pedestals are ideal for everyday active-file storage, not archival or high-security applications.
