Most safes would be the best containment vessel for ammo. There are alternatives but in reality they really don't provide a huge margin of safety for the cost.

When ammo cooks off and it's not in the barrel of a gun, the bullet goes a very short distance and the shell casing goes maybe 5 or 6 feet or so.
In other words, I wouldn't worry about it in the slightest.

Well I won’t drive a bulldozer over it but I’ll probably be OK then.

My neighbors barn burned to the ground.
It took the fire department several hours to get it out.
There was a filing cabinet in it that was full of ammo when it burned.
Some of the plastic cases the ammo was in melted , some were scorched pretty good , but none of the ammo went off.
It was just a regular filing cabinet , not fire proof at all.

Not exactly filing cabinets, but metal storage cabinets. Should be plenty on Craigslist, etc.

Call me paranoid, but the feds are looking for neighbors to report anyone who appears to be a terrorist. There have been news articles on police raiding someone and finding 10,000 rounds of ammo and distorting it to where it sounds like that person was an extremist.
I use to shoot competition and it was nothing to go through 4000 rounds or more a week. Some of the Olympic Shotgun shooters can go through 10,000 rounds per week without a sweat.
Be careful with what folks can see when you have your garage door open.
Be careful talking with neighbors and your ammo. You may have a pro-shooter who may mention it to others not knowing someone is a leftist in the group.
Remember the WWII saying: Loose lips sinks ships.
Sorry, did not use to be paranoid but now well....

and a 20ft container or 40 ft container works well, as do gang boxes, i use them to store reloads and components, so they don't take up precious shop space. reloading room is over loaded as it is
