The Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Department will conduct a live demolition of bombs at Hell’s Point, in the Alligator Creek area east of Honiara today.
A statement from the RSIPF yesterday said the Hell’s Point Demolition Range in Central Guadalcanal will be active from 8am to 1pm.
Deputy Director of the EOD Department, Staff Sergeant Peter Ririvere, kindly cautions farmers, hunters, and the general public in and around the Henderson area, Alligator Creek, and Tenaru School to keep out of Hell’s Point when the operation is in progress.
Safe evacuations of people and roadblocks will be enforced within these areas from East Henderson to the Tenaru school bus stop, the statement said.
Ririvere reassures the public of their safety and that this will be their normal weekly EOD task which aims to reduce the number of unexploded ordnances stored at the site to a minimum level.
The statement said the Air Traffic Control Tower at the Honiara International Airport will coordinate the firing of each serial and EOD operators will be posted at the control tower during this operation from the actual times of the demolition.
