Wooden cabinets were popular in the 40’s and 50’s and are still, surprisingly, allowed by code although I know of no one who builds them anymore. I would replace them with a modern approved cabinet in your next budget cycle.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Flammable cabinets and termites
Reaching out for advice on how to handle a unique situation. Several of our flammable storage cabinets are wood, and today I found abundant evidence of termites in two of them.
I've already contacted facilities management for the pest control, but what I'm unsure of is how this impacts the fire rating on the cabinet. The cabinets are built in to a larger unit (not free standing)
