Another thought about construction:  I did a "safe closet" in a building for the Forest Service a couple yrs ago.  The walls were 8" CMU w/ a horizontal bond beam every 24", vertical reinforcement every cell and fully grouted.  The ceiling was a pc of 3/8" or 1/2" steel plate attached w/ anchors embedded into the top of the cmu wall.  This is a much easier and cheaper way of building a "bomb proof" room in lieu of cast in place concrete.  If feel you need additional fire protection beyond that, you can always laminate a few layers of Type "X" sheetrock on the inside.
