Powder Magazine

Powder Magazine, also known as gunpowder magazine or powder store, is a secure facility used to store gunpowder, explosives, or ammunition. Historically, it was designed to keep combustible materials isolated from sources of ignition, reducing the risk of accidental explosions. These structures are built with fire-resistant materials, ventilation, and safety features to contain any accidental fire or explosion. Powder magazines have played a crucial role in military, industrial, and recreational contexts, ensuring the safe and organized storage of explosive materials to protect personnel and surrounding areas.
