Unexploded Ordinance

Some of you may have heard a “boom” at 6:38 pm Friday evening. That was the Canadian Military, accompanied by the TIVFD, at an undisclosed location, blowing up a US Military Incendiary Marine Marker that had washed ashore on a Thetis beach Friday morning. 

If you find any strange looking objects, especially ones that say DO NOT HANDLE - CALL EMERGENCY SERVICES, please don’t touch the device. Call 911 or the Fire Department. Please tell your kids to not touch and to tell an adult if they discover something metallic and strange on the beach, and then you can alert us. 

The ordinance that was dealt with Friday evening was still live and explosive and could have injured somebody if not handled properly by the trained experts.
