My brother in law has two fire bunkers on his property using 2.4M concrete well liners, Has not had to use them but has done fire drills with them.

Thanks beton that's great information.
Although a little off the topic, I think this thread demonstrates that this forum contains a wealth of information that is never utilised or known about.
I'll definitely look into that, thanks for sharing.
