Firefighters forced to wait for 100K ammo rounds to explode

[fried1765]

Yea I agree BUT the FD waited 2 hours before going in to fight the fire I am sure that resulted in a LOT more damage. Perhaps if you store ammunition at home find out the FD plan for fighting a fire would be?? I was a volunteer FF for 14 years in both city and rural areas and our policy was to wait until the popping stop before going in. That was if we knew they were in the home.

From my experience with a major house fire, and the aftermath......
When you discover a fire,..... let'er burn for 20 minutes or more, and THEN call the FD!
