Fireproof box or bag

Can anyone recommend a fireproof box or bag please. A lot of them on the market are not what they say they are and are not actually fireproof.
Thank you

To keep fire in, or to keep fire out?

Define the above. Even fireproof safes have their limits.

Fire boards for lab use or a fire blanket, if it's to charge a lithium battary in a flat, overheating it will make it catch on fire.

If for a fire safe rapping a blanket under and over could buy more time?

A steel box will keep fire out (or in). But does it require insulation as well to protect from heat ?

More that "keep fire in" only needs the protection to last until the internal fuel sources are exhausted (i.e. lithium ion battery bags), but "keep fire out" is a substantially more difficult task.
