Warns About Blasting Caps Safety Drive
La Crosse County Sheriff Roy B. Sampson led a county wide safety campaign warning children and adults not to touch blasting caps. He described caps as dangerous copper or aluminum tubes capable of causing severe injuries. The drive, supported by the National Sheriffs Association and the Institute of Makers of Explosives, urges reporting lost caps to officials or experienced adults.
