SALUTE
In order for an explosive to 'explode', you've got to have a small detonation, this is why all explosives carry a detonator.
Ex, if you have a storehose with explosives (detonators & explosives are never stored together) & there is a big fire, enough to burn the store down, the expolsives inside will not blow up, they will burn, melt or do whatever, depending on the explosive type. Now, if inside the store you have a gas butane cylinder & that blows up, thats when things start to blow up, one explosion will lead to the other until a massive one occurs!!
Explosives now & then are very safe to handle, they are designed to be transported & bashed around by every squaddie, tom dick & harry in the forces.
Hope my comment has helped.
