Great coverage

Glad that there were no injuries to anyone related to this incident, live ammunition going off can be a problem.
When I was a volunteer firefighter we responded to a fire and the owner had gunpowder in his basement and some of it went off while we were fighting the fire. But no one was injured.
Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area
