Unexploded Fireworks Found Along Beach

Nassau County, New York Approximately 100 unexploded fireworks have washed up on Jones Beach following a July 4th fireworks show. Police closed the beach shortly after the first unexploded firework was discovered and called in support from a New York State Bomb Squad to conduct a comprehensive search of the area.

The Chinese-made shells were traced back to Bay Fireworks, the company that conducted the fireworks show at Jones Beach for the past seven years. Authorities are investigating whether the fireworks may have come from an extra box of pyrotechnics that were reportedly brought on-site as a backup in case any of the original fireworks turned out to be duds. It's unclear how many unexploded fireworks may have been lost.

No injuries were reported but officials are warning the public to report any suspicious items found in the park.
