In the section "In ordinary building fires, concrete typically achieves excellent fire-resistance ratings, unless it is too wet, which can cause it to crack and explode. For unprotected concrete, the sudden endothermic reaction of the hydrates and unbound humidity inside the concrete causes such pressure as to spall off the concrete," then you mention an UL test that probes that... can you provide the document number? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Caenleve ( talk • contribs) 15:37, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

This article deals with fireproofing of buildings. As far as I can see (from a quick look at a few other articles and categories) there is no coverage of fireproofing of other things. For example, I own a couple of external disk drives that are designed to resist earthquakes, floods, and fire. Should this article be expanded to cover such things? Should it go somewhere else? Have I missed it and it is already there? Bill ( talk) 09:07, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
