Fireworks find closes Jones Beach

Jones Beach was evacuated at the height of a holiday weekend after stray, unexploded fireworks washed ashore the day after a July Fourth show, state parks officials said.

Roughly 2,000 visitors were told to leave the Long Island beach immediately after the seaborne shells began turning up around 12:45 p.m. Saturday, officials said.

It was the first such mishap in the Jones Beach fireworks show's 14-year history, said George Gorman, deputy regional director for the state parks.

Beachcombers, parks staffers and lifeguards spotted the errant explosives, some of which measured 8 inches in diameter, he said.
