Offsite-Use water

[teddymills]

Get a waterproof box or container of some kind....and drop it into your 
toilet tank.(the large one :)
As long as your container is waterproof, your data would be safe. from 
almost any fire.
Water would also dissipate the heat.
Plus you would save on your water bill, and not waste so much water.

If that doesnt work, go industrial. find a large metal container, as 
large as needed,
(45 gallon oil drum if need be, or flatter rectangular shaped)  and  use 
that.

Just thought that one up!
