STRAWBERRY, Calif. — Deputies are working on a plan to dispose of explosives found in a Tuolumne County home.
According to the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office, a deputy responded to the area of Highway 108 near Strawberry Road in Strawberry after someone reported finding dynamite and other explosives while cleaning a family member's home.
The deputy determined the dynamite was unstable.
Cal Fire, the Calaveras County Sheriff's Office Bomb Squad and Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office are working on a plan to dispose of the explosives safely. The plan would involve detonating them, which would cause several loud explosions in the Strawberry area.
"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," the sheriff's office said.
