Details of the explosion

On Wednesday, explosions described as fireworks-like erupted at the New Seabury Country Club, a 300-acre private golf and beach resort in Mashpee. Footage shared on social media showed bright flashes and loud bangs near the ground. A neighbor reported their house shaking. 

A large number of ambulances, fire trucks, and Mashpee police flooded the scene. The Mashpee Fire Department is investigating, but no official cause has been confirmed, and it’s unclear if the incident was connected to a planned fireworks show in the area that night.
