Unexploded fireworks shells wash up on Martha's Vineyard beach, company suspended
MARTHA'S VINEYARD - A pyrotechnics company has been suspended after unexploded fireworks shells washed up on a Martha's Vineyard beach.
The bomb squad had to be called in when 25 commercial-grade fireworks were found on Chappaquiddick Island on Wednesday.
The state fire marshal said Central Maine Pyrotechnics improperly disposed of the shells after a fireworks show. That company has now been suspended.
The Massachusetts Department of Fire Services said there's a chance more fireworks could wash up on Martha's Vineyard. Anyone who sees one is asked to stay away and call police immediately.
