Old ammunition catching fire? Someone needs to audit storage procedures. This could have been disastrous. Glad it wasn't, but lesson learned.

Safety first, always. 💪 In India, we have similar risks with old ordnance in some depots. Good for UAE authorities to be transparent about it. No casualties is a big win.

At least they didn't try to hide it. We need to see official reports though. Was it just wood or something more? Public deserves to know the full story.

Good thing the fire was contained quickly. 👍 Reminds me of the recent fireworks factory fire in India—this time no casualties, which is a blessing. UAE's disaster response is getting better.

Accidents happen. The key is how you respond. MoD seems to have done well here. Zero injuries = good training. Hope they investigate the root cause though. 🔍
