More PR comfort food ?
But do you know BBoxes are certificated to withstand at least 1100 C deg over 30 minutes?
And as I mentioned boxes probably are buried (that's why they are not found yet) underground. It makes additional isolation layer.
Anyway, there is nothing to worry about a prori.
Almost every serious accident is with fire and boxes are unusable very rarely.
