How are they with temperature management as well? These destructive fires get insanely hot, I've seen these fires turn vehicles into nothing but puddles of of metal. I would be concerned that these would just turn into underground ovens.

Even with huge temperatures, it doesn't take that much to isolatie from them. Especially when it's for a relatively short period
