Yes, there is a backplate on this gas meter box. Please see the tab "details" and the specification sheet under "Product Download" with images of the inside of the box. Thank you.
Unfortunately the vents on the gas doors we manufacture are solid and would not have the ability to swell up and close in the event of a fire.
