In reality there is no safe zone seen how rockets are impacting inside the camps. However, the definition is as follows:
INSIDE THE WIRE: Members of the military and civilians employed in military operations are within the confines of a camp/base/forward operation base.
OUTSIDE THE WIRE: Members go outside the confines to travel from one location to another whether it be on a specific operation / tasking or resupply.
So when someone tells you they are going outside the wire or will be outside the wire then they are leaving the base.
For operational security no soldier in their right mind should be telling anyone over any means when and why they are going outside the wire.

Outside The Wire

I was in Iraq for 8 months and the "wire" may or may not actually be a wire. The base I was on had a physical wall for the "wire". Being inside the wire in this case would mean that you were on base where it is relatively safe, being outside the wire means you are off base where it would not be as safe.

Inside the wire means you are in a safe zone. Outside the wire usually means your are in hostile territory.

Inside the wire would be on a base "inside the barbed or razor wire" Outside the wire would be , well.. outside of the barbed or razor wire. In unprotected territory.

Inside the wire means you are safer than outside.
"The wire" is the base perimeter. It can be wire but not always. The base guards are on the wire and the enemy can be anywhere outside.

I think in this case it means what everyone is saying it means, he is in the safety zone. Another, although not remotely applicable to this situation, meaning is that you have accomplished something just in time, just under the wire.

The "wire" is probably "barbed wire". It's a barrier between the good guys (our side) and the bad guys (their side).

Inside is your side , outside is toward the enemy

Due to Military Operational Security purposes, I don't think that it would be appropriate to answer this question in an open forum. I would advise you to ask your friend the next time you talk to them.
