## Resource

On Motukorea, also known as Browns Island, the New Zealand Defence Force stepped in after someone stumbled upon a marine marker flare—packed with phosphorus and explosives. Rather than risk a dangerous delay, the bomb squad detonated it safely right on the island, sending a loud blast heard five miles away. A dog walker even captured the smoke on video. The takeaway? If you find something suspicious, don’t touch it—call the police. The uninhabited island, popular with boaters and walkers, was cleared without incident, proving the military’s quick response keeps things safe for everyone.
