JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A weekend fire at a military surplus store in Jacksonville set off explosions of ammunition.

Alarms went off early Sunday morning at Patriot Mania near Jacksonville Naval Air Station and firefighters found the store engulfed in flames and heavy smoke.

The blaze ignited lighter fluid and set off live rounds.

No one was hurt in the fire but damage was substantial. The cause is still being investigated.
