Why did this guy store thousands of rounds of ammunition in his house?

4. I didn't see any firefighters in the video.

It looked like some neighbors trying to help out until the firefighters arrive.

Either way, ammo cooking off poses no significant danger to firefighters. Its recommended that if there is ammo, they should wear a thick coat (which they do anyway), and put their face mask down. I could see how the noise of ammo cooking off would scare somebody, and maybe hurt somebody who isn't even wearing a shirt, but shouldn't affect a fire fighters ability to put out a fire.

Here is my proof;

Go to 21:30. They take a semi truck with pallets of ammo, set it on fire. A firefighter stands about 10' away, and isn't harmed by the ammo going off. Later a team of firefighters walks up to the truck and puts it out.
