As long as all the mundane aspects are taken care, I don’t see why not. It would make sense it would serve as an amulet, as writing is a big aspect to jewish magic, both before and after the Kabbalah was established. And since it was considered a holy text to a degree and therefore not allowed to be burned under Jewish law, it would make sense if there were magical aspects to protect it from meeting that end where ever it was stored prior to burial.
As far as other methods, I do have a spell here I created for fire protection back when the larger city nearby was having an outbreak of fires to protect my own home petitioning the Illyrian god of fire Verbt that was successful.
