Only if you setup seperate jobs.

Investing in a _good_ fireproof data safe isn't expensive compared with
the cost of the other equipment ($500-$7000, depending on requirements)
A fully certified one can handle 2 hours at 1200C, survive a drop of 10
metres and then another hour burning and 24-48 hours cooldown without
the internal temperature exceeding 60C

As a matter of policy: Your backup equipment should be isolated from the
rest of the data centre, preferably in a separate building and at least
in a separate room with its own fire supression setup. I know this isn't
always practical but it's something you should shoot for when setting
things up.
