They need to be placarded/marked properly so that IF there is a fire or spill they can be handled properly by the First Responders.

They make loads of extra money off of it and do nothing different with those packages then they do with anything else.
I asked if they are put in a steel fireproof box on the truck or some kind of special fireproof container at all. Nope, just toss the box on the shelf with the rest of them.
They deliver fireworks, rifle primers, bulk cans of black-powder all just placed on the floor or shelf of the delivery trucks.
