The owner, Bill Adams, said the house had been in his family since 1927 and contained hundreds of antiques reduced to ashes with the rest of the house.

Among the antiques were about 40 guns, for which Burlin estimated there were about 100,000 rounds of ammunition in the house.

Million rounds of ammo found at CA house
Updated 3/2/2007 4:13 PM ET

NORCO, Calif. (AP) — More than 1 million rounds of ammunition, a cache of weapons and a tunnel were found at a man's California home after an explosive fire that forced a neighborhood evacuation, authorities said Friday.

Crews worked to fortify the tunnel, which measured 5 feet wide by 8 feet long, to ensure it was safe. It appeared to be at least 10 feet deep and led into a backyard, authorities said.

The fire Thursday afternoon at the home in Norco, about 45 miles east of Los Angeles, caused some of the ammunition to explode.

The man tried to run back into the house after firefighters arrived and had to be restrained by sheriff's deputies, Riverside County sheriff's Deputy Juan Zamora said.

WASHOUGAL -- About two dozen investigators looked for more human remains Friday at a home that burned with at least two people inside as gunfire kept firefighters away.

"We found rifles, handguns and thousands and thousands of rounds of ammunition," including some that did not explode in Wednesday's fire, said Clark County sheriff's Sgt. Kevin Allais.

There's no explanation yet why a man inside the house fired at people responding to the blaze. It was not a drug house, Allais said.

The owner is believed to be a self-proclaimed white separatist who was arrested in Bonner County, Idaho, in 1995 over allegations he threatened his ex-wife, The Columbian reported. Authorities in Idaho allegedly confiscated more than two dozen weapons, including six AK-47s and a grenade launcher.
