Brass Alarm

Would bullet casings melt in a fire?
I'm writing a novel and I want to fact check some details to make it accurate. The blaze is a three alarm fire. One that guts a large building. If spent casings were left on the floor would they melt or be intact. I know that the primary material is brass and copper and in rare cases cartridges are made of aluminum. Would they survive a fire or not?
I live in the sticks of the Kansas prairie and my neighbors house burnt last year in the middle of the night. They explode like the Fourth of July. Very dangerous. Nearly nothing left, after we went through the mess...Most fire squads will let it burn from a distance if they know there is ammo there...
