Community Notice:

Earlier today, A North Plains resident discovered old explosives on a family-owned farming property that has been in the family since 1952. Concerned about safety, the homeowner called for assistance from the Portland Metro Explosives Disposal Unit (Metro EDU).

Metro EDU decided to detonate some of the explosives in place, which may be heard in the surrounding community. Please do not call 9-1-1, as there is no danger to the public.
