Blasting in Braselton grabs attention

BRASELTON - Explosions in a portion of Braselton caused some worry and headaches for some people in south Hall Monday afternoon. <br> <br> Hall County Sheriff&#39;s Captain Ed Barfield said Braselton Planning and Zoning officials authorized a company to do blasting work at a subdivision in the works at Friendship and Spout Springs Roads. <br> <br> &#34;The city of Braselton annexed that area down there at Duncans Crossroads. That&#39;s where the problem is,&#34; Barfield said.<br> <br> &#34;They have given them permission to do the blasting, but they&#39;re (Braselton officials) over here making a report just in case there&#39;s some liability.&#34;<br> <br> Barfield said his department got numerous calls about the explosions starting just after lunch Monday. <br> <br> &#34;We received several calls/complaints from people that there house was being shaken. We did have one vehicle that had minor damage to it,&#34; Barfield said.
