Abstract
A safe for storing ammunition or other heat-sensitive explosive materials. The safe includes a plurality of walls, a door attached to one of the plurality of walls, an interior space defined by the plurality of walls and the door, an opening extending through one of the plurality of walls or the door, a pane coupled over the opening, and a cover coupled to the one of the plurality of walls or the door adjacent the pane. The pane automatically exposes the opening when the interior space reaches a predetermined temperature, which is lower than the temperature at which ammunition or other heat-sensitive explosive material detonates. Accordingly, the safe provides for pressure release before the ammunition or other heat-sensitive explosive material detonates.
