Investigation continued at the location of the blast. Unexploded devices were collected and secured. The explosive materials were taken to a disposal site where they were disposed of by counter charge. Arriving bomb techs met with Palm Beach County Fire Rescue personnel, including their cohorts from the Special Operations Hazmat team. Investigation continued at the location of the blast. Unexploded devices were collected and secured. The bomb squad worked closely with their crime scene unit.
