Honestly, I was surprised there wasn’t the “small arsenal” comment from the news.

They didn’t say the fire started from “heat” (although obvious statement is obvious that in order to have fire, you must first have heat somewhere...). They said:

“ DPS says the rounds did explode due to the heat, but nobody was injured.”

Which means some, or all, of the ammo exploded due to the heat from the fire.

2K rounds doesn't make a "truck full of ammo", more sensationalist news reporting for the ignorant and uninformed.
P.s. Another good reason to carry a fire extinguisher.

Aren't they always!!

I have had a few rounds mistakenly get dumped in a burn barrel,... without a confining chamber, not much more entertaining than a firecracker.
