If items in a fireproof safe are purposefully set on fire with a fully closed and locked safe, are contents outside of the safe generally safe from fire?

The safe can be placed in a secluded spot and on stone.

That really depends on the safe but for the most part it should be. It would probably ruin the safe as the inside is probably not fire resistant but also the fire would probably choke out as the safe should be airtight. As for signal penetration, again depends on the safe but I believe that most safes have some layer of thick metal, which should block all signals.
