Upgrade to a fire resistant box.
You can cast plaster of paris around your box (box inside of a box).
Use parchment paper to mate the upper and lower parts.  Drywall and
construction adhesive work as well.   2x 3/4" drywall for garages is code,
you want more but drywall fire resistance is nicely documented.
