That has to be the stuff that always catches fire and goes big boom, happened in Beirut a few years ago? And I think there was one in Texas?

That was potassium nitrate which is typically as fertilizer but is a potent oxidizer and can be used for rockets, explosives, and gunpowder/black powder

The orange smoke at the start might just be from the fire illuminating the smoke, but could also something more toxic, such as hydrazine (used in hypergolic rockets and older weapons)
