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.

Just a reminder these safes are not actually fireproof. They are fire resistant and people should check what they are rated for before buying.
