:shake: Incident No: 3339 Date: 11-02-2009 Time: 12:17 Details: Grenade found in container Address: School Lane, Great Leighs Attendance: 2 x Braintree :shake: Crews are standing by following the discovery of a rocket propelled grenade. The 81mm mortar was found in the back of a storage container. A 200m exclusion zone has been set up and Police are evacuating a nearby nursery and neighbouring properties. At 13:30 hrs, crews report the Army bomb disposal experts are now at the incident. At 13:44 The Fire Service has now dealt with this incident. Station Officer Steve Wintrip, who was commander at the incident, said: "The mortar was found in the container which had been opened by the owner and the Police who withdrew as soon as they saw it. "When we turned up we ascertained that it was an 81mm mortar complete with its percussion cap and the bomb disposal squad were called in. "In the end it turned out to be a training mortar and not a live round, although it had been painted green like a live round and that led to the confusion." Dave C
