Hello GM's,

I have a question maybe someone in here can answer. How far does a pyro storage locker have to be away from a building, fueling station, etc.? I'm not sure I am looking in the right place for the answer so I figured I would ask here.

Thanks for the help in advance.

If you can get your hands on these, the first place to look would be the ordinance manual then I would suggest OP-5 Ammunition Ashore. I dont have the information in front of me but that is where you can find the information you need. Also your servicing armory should have that information. I know that is the answer poeple dont want but it is the best place to start.

OP-5 chapter 7 deals with distances.

Thanks! I'm trying to get my hands on a copy of that now.

if you are still in VA the GM "A" school is there, or any of the cutters should have a copy.

All the Ordnance info you need can be found here but you'll have to go there from CG work station. Your pubs are on the left side under Ordnance Pubs Index.

g. Ready Service Lockers. Generally used to store small quantities of belted or boxed
small arms ammunition, certain pyrotechnics, and similar material that present fire, but no blast,
hazard. Ready service lockers may be located in hangers or arming areas provided that
construction and location are approved by NOSSA or NOSSA LANTDIV/PACDIV ESSO and
are compatible with the regulations of the commands concerned. Approval of proposed
locations generally is granted on the basis of operational necessity. Requests for siting of ready
service lockers and magazines shall be made in accordance with paragraph 8-1.2 of this
manual. Refer to paragraph 11-9.1 for information regarding recommended inspection policy.
h. Portable Magazines. Commercially built pre-engineered magazines may be used for
storage of all C/D’s of ammunition or explosives, although their application is most efficient for
storage of C/D 1.3 and 1.4 material. Commercial literature or specifications on the magazines
do not qualify the magazines for a particular type storage or explosive limit. The quantitydistance
criteria of chapter 7 and siting requirements of paragraph 8-1.2 must be applied. The
term “portable” only denotes a type of magazine. Once a magazine has been sited, its location
cannot be changed without resubmission for site approval.
