I keep my extra ammo in a small Ridgid "job box", It is therefor contained in a steel box. We had a case here where the Fire Chief let a home burn because he could hear ammo cooking off in a garage ( ignorant about ammo cooking off). I do have a weapon with a loaded chamber in the house, but it will be on my person.

I'm probably showing a lot of ignorance here, but why?

Has not happened to me but I have read about it. If your ammo happens to "cook" off during a fire, it can apparently reek havoc on the weapons.

Make sure you do not store ammunition and weapons together.
