An unidentified person walked into the Seaside Fire Station Thursday afternoon carrying a blanket wrapped object that was found on the Turnaround and told firefighters it might be an explosive device. Firefighters on duty immediately asked the individual to place the object on the ground. The device was placed on the apron in front of the firehouse and the area was immediately secured. The Oregon State Police Explosive Unit was activated shortly after 2:30 p.m. and arrived approximately two hours later. Upon arrival, technicians examined the objects and determined them to be commercial electrical fuses. Sometimes called "blade fuses" they are typically used in a fuse box geared for three-phase power systems and are not something most people would recognize.
