DFW Gun Range burned down from some idiot with tracers. I don't know if unburned powder exacerbated the problem, but concerns about loaded firearms inside the facility had everyone on edge.

A google search of "sparks cause shooting range fire" leads me to believe that the fire safety concerns aren't imaginary.
