Need a cheap fireproof container to store the battery in.

I don't want to keep the battery in my hot garage. At the moment it's charging in my office, right next to me. I wanted to get a Class D fire extinguisher, but they are ridiculously expensive for what you get.
In any case, if you know where I could get a fire proof container to store it in, that would be great, thanks.
It's 12 x 3.5 x 3.5 inches.

I have used an ammo box, something like this:

They come in various shapes and sizes and you may find them in war surplus stores.

Any metal can, bucket, or cookwear would work. I use an old metal box that was originally for sending backup tapes offsite, similar to an ammo can. I store it inside my gas grill outside. Before I had the metal box I stored and charged my lipo batteries in the grill itself. It was always outside, protected from water, obviously safe with fire, and I had a plug nearby. Remember to take them out before starting the grill

Another safe charging aid.
Here is something I use to manage/limit the amount of time the charger is actually charging when doing it unattended (especially overnight).
Woods Countdown Timer
