Strawberry, CA…TCSO deputies with the assistance of CCSO Bomb Squad, the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office (SJCSO) Bomb Squad, Tuolumne County Fire Department and the United States Forest Service, successfully disposed of the unstable explosives by detonation, causing approximately 10 loud explosions in the Strawberry area.
Explosives located at the home which were determined to be stable were safely transported by the Bomb Squads for disposal.

We want to thank Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office, San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office, U.S. Forest Service-Stanislaus National Forest, Tuolumne County Fire and Manteca District Ambulance for their assistance in safely disposing of the explosives.

 

Old dynamite can be very unstable, we ask the public not to handle, cover, move or transport unwanted explosives. We are thankful this dynamite did not explode unintentionally and that no one was injured.
