PETERSBURG – During Upper Township Committee’s regular meeting July 11, notice was given to the public to be aware of what Deputy Mayor Jay Newman referred to as “ordnances,“ which are washing up on area beaches from the explosion that occurred on a barge that was launching Sea Isle City’s Fourth of July fireworks.
No injuries occurred and the incident is under investigation.
Newman said, “State Police and Upper Township Public Works personnel are collecting as many as they can but need the public’s help in locating and identifying these explosives.”
He advised the public not to touch them, adding that, if found, police should be contacted immediately.
