Scheduled Detonations At Jefferson Range Thursday, Friday

NEW MARION, Ind. – You may feel or hear some large booms during the next few days.

The Indiana National Guard said they will be detonating ordnance Thursday and Friday at Jefferson Range.

The demolitions take place between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. with multiple blasts throughout the day.

The blasts may be felt as far away as Moores Hill, Holton and Sunman.

Jefferson Range Scheduler Joahnna Siebenthal said, “We are required to clean up any ordnance that may be potentially hazardous out here. We are disposing of that.”

“So, if it appears as if the ordnance has some kind of active charge left in it we have an EOD team that will dispose of that. They just blow it up right in place so it is no longer hazardous.”
