Fire at gun enthusiast's O.C. home caused ammunition to explode

Rounds of ammunition exploded Wednesday as flames tore through a Yorba Linda home for more than hour, gutting the two-story residence and damaging nearby homes, authorities said.

About 1:40 p.m., the blaze erupted in the backyard of the home in the 17200 block of Chestnut Street, said Capt. Steve Concialdi of the Orange County Fire Authority.

Before more than 90 firefighters arrived, a plume of thick black smoke rose up and the heat caused several rounds of homemade ammunition to burst. Loud pops could be heard through the affluent neighborhood, Concialdi said.
