Even in the UK I doubt they'd have evacuated nearby houses, not unless grenades and such were discovered.

Looks like they need the practice.

The county is certainly looking at the situation from a possible legal standpoint. In short, declare an emergency. Dispatch all available county emergency equipment. All of it...land, sea and air. So, in case something does go wrong with the offending ammo taking life, property or both the county is covered from being sued for lack of proper response with correct available equipment for such a situation.

Makes sense

Speaking as a former EOD troop, perhaps the primary concern was whether there were any other explosive/ammo at this location. If I got a call twice in a week for hidden/discovered ammo, I think it is prudent to consider that there might be more and to take reasonable precautions.
