Several Ground Green Star Cluster Signal devices were picked up on the old city dump by a patrolman, and turned over to Chief of Police Vickery.
The signal devices are listed as pyrotechnics and are considered a "dangerous fire hazard." They would ignite in a hot fire, and are difficult to hose down, according to authorities. Used as a flare in case of distress, the head can be detonated by striking it with a hammer.
Chief Vickery urges persons who threw these on the old city dump to refrain from doing so, because of the fire hazard, and also for the safety of children who might find them.
