No link to OP, but same kind of fire.

^^^THIS^^^

Flames burst upward from between "floorboards" with gaps. Just a WAG but LTML raised foundation construction. Cracks between floor boards. Accumulation of unburned powder "under" the floorboards.

Hope they got out safely.

I think that makes the most logical sense, cracks in floor board + accumulation of powder over time in said cracks.

Lots of accumulation of unburned gun powder in front of the shooting benches that got lit?

That burned more like smokeless powder or gasoline than wood or polyester materials.

Yeah I would go with Un burned powder. Fire started just in front of shooters feet roughly where Aalto of unburned powder ends up in cracks and whatnot

those guns sure had light loads, the shooters didn't even get nudged from the recoil. the shells on the side saddle made me assume shotgun, but the super light recoil makes me think those aren't shells, and maybe pump action .22lr?

I'm getting lead poisoning just from watching that video. How anyone would shoot there with all that crap ventilation is beyond me.

If you slow it down, it looks like an explosion/fire from the floor below coming up thru the floor immediately in front of the station on the left.

Can anybody identify which agency those guys are with? I found this from April of this year:

Article states US DHS SWAT.

If that's the incident in the video. I can't identify the agency from the video, though.

Looks like someone may have spread some powder on that mat in the corner. Maybe a spill or accident, or maybe a grab-a prank.

[Tarmy]

So what are those grooves in the shooting lane...as someone noted earlier...looks like it welled up thru there...

Damn....

[Deedle]

Holy smokes ...

You may remember this incident that may have been attributed to unspent powder built up in the ballistics tunnel passing on to materials stored nearby:

When I worked at a range the firing line ahead of the benches was swept daily for all the obvious reasons.

It's not. Video in the OP shows 11/23/18.

I'm trying to make out what's on the dude on the right's vest. An acronym? Maybe not even in the U.S.

Geezus, someone should sweep the floor once in awhile. That black mat in front of the firing line must be combustible as hell too. We use to light off the unburnt powder in the seams of the concrete slabs at the indoor range I ran.

If you slow down the video the fire does come from the floor beneath them.

The still/screen shots you guys posted looks like what Pardini is explaining. The un-burnt powder get swept into the expansion joints in the concrete, 12 gauge throws ember into crack, and POOF!

Hadn't thought of that, could well be a foreign country. Can anybody id the firearms?
