I have several rounds of surplus ammo but am worried about storing too much. I mean I don't want to endager fire figthers should there be a fire at my house. Is there a safe way to store ammo that won't endanger them?

You can store it at my house .Where should I pick it up ?
Ok that's funny I was just trying to be responsible. Never mind.
I asked my firefighter brother that same question. They are more worried about paint and fuel cans then ammo.
Don't know how much you have to store but one of those cheap sentry safes from home depot or lowes will add some level of fire protection.

black powder is explosive, that should not be stored in large amounts in your house, and there is a legal limit to the amount of powder you are allowed to store in your house anyway.
ammo is perfectly safe, it just pops and burns, this is because smokeless powder is a propellant, not an explosive like black powder.
worst case scenario, a fire fighter going through your burning house finds your giant stash of 200,000 rounds, and all he sees is a mountain of boxes with flames coming out of them
