[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1159616, member: 313"] I just put a heavy safe into my friends basement. With the correct moving equipment it was no big deal getting it down the stairs. The staircase was 1960 vintage wood but easily handled the weight as the safe went down. I believe the safe is actually less likely to be subjected to significant heat from fire by being downstairs. Fires burn up, and the hottest areas in a house-fire aren't in the basement. However, if the entire house burned down then I guess the smoldering mess that ends up in the basement could cause a problem. That's a fairly rare scenario with the rapid police & fire response in most suburban areas. With regard to basement humidity - In my basement I run a dehumidifier 24/7 during the summer. The dehumidifier cycles on & off as needed and discharges the water through a 1/4" hose that can be run out the window or into the slop sink. It's very convenient. Just another perspective [/QUOTE]
