Bomb Discovered In Jackson: Chief Morrison Gives The Details
The Jackson Police Department received an unwelcome gift yesterday afternoon
when a citizen dropped off a suspicious package for the police to inspect.
Sgt Todd Breedlove took
one look at the item in a small soda box and started to evacuate city hall, the
police department and other surrounding properties. The Calaveras County Bomb
squad arrived on scene shortly afterward and determined that the package did
indeed contain an explosive device of some kind. Hwy 88 was closed from Pitt Street through Hwy 49 causing a
traffic backup. The bomb was detonated at about 5:35 pm causing a huge dust cloud and
main street buildings to shake, but no broken glass. By about 6 pm all roadways
were opened.(

CAL Fire Reminder About Fire Works
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) Amador/El Dorado Unit would like to remind you the sale or discharge of all fireworks including Safe and Sane are prohibited in all portions of El Dorado County and in most areas of Amador County. In Amador County the incorporated areas of Jackson, Sutter Creek, and Ione allow Safe and Sane fireworks in controlled conditions away from any flammable vegetation. Safe and Sane fire works must have the State Fire Marshal’s Seal of Registration on each device. Party Poppers and Snap Caps with the State Fire Marshal’s Seal of Registration are the only two items legal for use in Amador and El Dorado Counties. Temperatures are rising, the abundant grass crop is drying out, the summer weather pattern has began, and the chance of a wildland fire starting from legal or illegal fireworks is extreme. If you are in the above mentioned incorporated areas of Amador County and plan to discharge Safe and Sane fireworks make sure you have a shovel and a bucket of water or garden hose available. You can be held liable for the cost of fighting any fires that you or your children start in the state. Please be careful, be responsible and enjoy your Independence Day!
