What would be in an ammo depot that would cause the massive fire before the explosions?

Fire?

That's quite an understatement.

Have we ruled out terrorism yet? (sarcasm)

At this stage, it's best to wait and see what the fire was. Perhaps it was a vehicle or fuel too close to the ammo. When Doha went up at the end of Gulf War I, it was a vehicle that caught on fire and ended up destroying more vehicles than we'd lost in the whole war. By tomorrow, the forces on the ground will have begun an investigation and will have some preliminary findings that will indicate the likely cause. The investigation overall will take quite a while.
