[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1771592, member: 24428"] I took a arson course once that had a section about ammunition being in a fire, and a insurance agent on the H&H forum discussed this last year...the real danger to firemen is ammunition chambered in a gun cooking off because it is just about like pulling the trigger... and if it is a semi-auto it can keep cycling until the magazine is empty. Loose ammo doesn't have anything to help compress or concentrate the powder blast so it isn't much more than a big firecracker going off. The bullet pops out of the brass a little like a cork out of a champaign bottle. Still something to be concerned about.. but not nearly as dangerous as a chambered round cooking off. [/QUOTE]
