Hello, a question I’ve always wondered is how do you guys treat structures that have a lot of cartridges (bullets) I side a residential fire. I’m a deputy (retired) and some time ago we had smoke getting pushed through our AC in the middle of the night. All my weapons and ammo are stored I side a safe that is rated for a 45 minute direct fire incident. It turned out to be an AC motor that burnt up but I thought we had a fire of some sort in the walls or attic.

So to my question, I told the guys I had the ammo in the master bedroom safe and told them if the house goes up then beware of the ammo that might discharge from the heat. Told them let the house go if they needed to but just make sure they were safe. Because this is Reddit I’m positive they would have done what they needed to without my help but in my region we have a great relationship with fire and we go above and beyond to help each other out. They would have definitely stayed in past what they should have if it meant saving my home without putting themselves in much more danger.

So anyways just curious as to what the protocol is for houses that have large quantities of ammo inside. Thanks

I’ve asked a couple different questions here but what am I doing wrong to not get one single call back from any of these contracting companies?

Long story short I’m a retired deputy with 28 years experience, 25+ as an investigator. Narcotics, burglary, gangs, and public corruption are the main ones and in a major department that is probably top 10 in the country.

The only thing I can think of is I’ve been off for a little over two years by choice. I have my pension and differed comp so I’ve been in no rush so I’ve just been enjoying time with my family. Perhaps the two years off is what’s not letting it get past some AI wall?

I’d be glad to share my resume with anyone who might want to critique it and give me some pointers. I’m not saying I should be hired on the spot but I have enough experience to at least be somewhat considered right?

Thanks for any help or input you all have.
