FIDDLETOWN, Calif. — Law enforcement in Amador County are investigating after a package reportedly exploded inside of a mailbox Saturday.
According to the Amador County Sheriff's Office, around 4:30 p.m. Saturday, a parcel exploded in a mailbox near Fiddletown Road and Hale Road in Amador County. The explosion started a fire across the street which was quickly extinguished.
A second package was found on the ground directly in front of the exploded mailbox. Deputies called out a bomb squad to x-ray the package but they were unable to determine if the package could have been a second explosive device.
After detonating the package, officials determined it did not contain an explosive.
