Storage of ammunition in the US

Several posters here have alluded to the fact that they possess thousands of rounds of ammo. Is this not a fire risk? By which I do not mean they will spontaneously burst into flames, but if there is a fire won't they start going off? Do US firemen get injured by exploding ammunition? Do they need to wear bullet proof gear when fighting fires? Do you have to notify the fire service if you have ammunition at home? Are there cases of dead bodies found after fires with bullets in them that may or may not have been a consequence of exploding ammunition?

Are there laws about how much ammunition people can have and how to store it? Are they enforced?
