Did you see the Reuters article on it? According to the article, there was an auto body shop next door. It reported, "One of the nearby businesses had tanks filled with highly combustible materials including oxygen, nitrogen and acetylene," (apparently, the reporter slept through chemistry class).

It also said, "The plant makes ammunition that makes bullets for rifles and pistols." I need to find some of that stuff. Put the ammo in your storage cabinet over night and the next morning you have a fresh batch of bullets! Incredible!

And they wonder why we have such a low opinion of the media.

Stew

A CBS affiliate said they make rifles, pistols and bullets.

Face palm at this point.

They had their own brand. They made commonplace and some odd-ball calibers in both reloaded and new brass. I think they had some other products as well. I looked at their web site the other day right after the fire, but I can't get the site to come up now.
