Actually, having just purchased a fire resistant safe they recommend NOT storing your ammo inside it. In case of a fire, it *does* get hot in there, and would turn the thing into a giant bomb.

Understood. However, it might be a good idea to post a "hazard" sticker on the door, indicating that black powder is stored inside. Such notice provokes second thoughts in those who would try to torch it open.
Never happen. Check out the military tests done on small arms ammo and described in "Hatcher's Notebook".
Small arms ammo stored in a military ammo can will barely bulge the lid if placed in a fire. No amount of non black powder ammo is going to hurt a decent gun safe, or even the firearms in it.
