A Noisy Day for Residents Near Air Force Base

Dover Air Force Base plans demolitions training

Some people living in our area could be dealing with some extra racket today.

Officials at Dover Air Force base say nearby residents may hear more noise than usual during demolitions training.

The 436th Civil Engineer Squadron's Explosive Ordnance Disposal Flight will conduct the training Thursday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Officials say residents may hear noise and may experience ground shaking. Noise from the range can travel farther if the weather is overcast.

The base, located a short distance south of Dover, Del., is home to the 436th Airlift Wing and the 512th Airlift Wing.
