Would I have thought that storing a massive amount of explosives next to flammable material in the middle of a city was a bad idea? Yes.

I don't claim to be a prophet, but it's hard for me to see why anyone wouldn't think that would be a bad idea.

That's probably how it's done in your nearest port, as well as anywhere else. With actual storage and fire safety procedures (hopefully) better followed.

Same reason you have ammunition depots in the military and not mixed storage of your howitzer shells with MREs and socks. Partitioning hazardous stuff into dedicated holds with heightened access and fire security is how it's done everywhere.
