The video was very interesting. One fireman in his gear went right up close to the fire, close enough the use the hose. He said he could feel the bullets hitting him but without being squeezed down a barrel, they don't have much power behind them.
In general ammo is not dangerous in a fire, it responds pretty much like a firecracker, standard fire fighting gear will prevent the fire fighter from receiving any injuries. Stores of powder however are a different thing.
