You're making a serious mistake. Do NOT display firearms around your home. You do not need a, 'small gunsafe'. You need a safe large enough for all the guns you own as well as those you intend to purchase.
Some safes are more fireproof than others. The rating, if any, will be included in the safe's specifications. If that rating is for one hour, or more, that's about as much as you can expect.
Common mistakes that owners make with their new gun safes: They fail to have the safe firmly bolted to the floor. (An unbolted safe is ten times less resistant to break-in than one that is securely bolted down.) They fail to install a high quality heating rod. They forget to lock the safe every time they leave the house; and unlock it whenever they are home. (If children, strangers, or elderly people are in the house then the gun safe must always be kept locked.)
Never select a safe with a digital keypad that doesn't also have an auxiliary (mechanical) means of being unlocked. Digital keypads have a notorious reputation for dropping dead on you exactly when you don't want them to. When I bought my safe, I got a mechanical spinner lock. When I'm home I keep the spinner set to open on only the last digit in the combination. This gives me security and speed if I need it.
Displaying any gun, or leaving a, 'nightstand gun' out is an invitation to disaster. Some day you may come home to face your own guns! Most of my neighbors are NOT aware that I own firearms. The few who do are aware that I own a strong gun safe - One that is properly setup and difficult to breach.
If your house is really burning no gun safe is going to protect your firearms 100%. The most a safe can do for you is buy you time while the fire department works to extinguish the blaze. If you've got a heated cellar pick an isolated corner away from the furnace and water heater, drill out the floor and install anchor bolts. Then set up the safe along a block wall where it won't be surrounded by lots and lots of burning wood.
If you live in a condo or townhouse you'll have to adjust the safe's location (and bolting method) as well as you can. The biggest mistake you're making, though, is displaying your firearms - That's a strict, 'no-no'.
