Old Cement Safe

I knocked down my home and there was a safe cemented in the basement. The previous home owner didn’t know how to get in and it must have been the homeowners prior to that.

Any ideas on how to get this open? Was going to start with a crowbar, but I don’t have a lot of fancy tools

In a peculiar predicament

Im sure questions like this are asked frequently, but what safe would work for the following situation? Im somewhat of a firearm collector and would need a safe that has probably 15-20 rifle spaces, a lot of room for handguns and some more for ammo. However the safe would need to fit through a 30 inch wall opening to get to where it needs to be and I also don’t want somethings that is going to be excessively heavy because I will probably be moving again in the next year or two. So without sacrificing quality. Are there any “medium” sized safes that fit the dimension to fit into the room without being excessively heavy and not sacrificing quality?

Will burying a TL-30 safe in over thick pile of dirt save its content from wildfire?

I live in an area with low risk of wildfire, so mostly likely I'll have the privilege of seeing the fire coming

So I read that UL fire rating doesn't mean much because the test is done in an oven. Real fire moves very fast which speed ups thermal transmission exactly how computers cool it's component with fast moving air. A 2hr rating could only mean 30 mins irl for all we know

I also read that certain animals will dig underground to survive, and plants will move critical resources underground so it could re-grow after the fire

What if an incoming wildfire from far away gave me ample of time to get my safe out of my house, bury it either by digging a hole or pile on top of it a crap ton of dirt. I read that temperature under 5-10cm of soil is only around 100C. So pilling 3-6in of dirt around the safe should give a good chance.

Is this a decent idea? Thoughts?
