California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has declared a state of emergency in San Diego County, the site of a house with the nation's largest cache of homemade explosives ever found in one spot.
The declaration, made Wednesday, frees up state funding to help in the removal of the explosives.
San Diego authorities have said they will burn down the house that they've described as a "bomb factory."
The house, in an unincorporated area near Escondido, California, has been deemed too dangerous for bomb squads to re-enter because it contains two kinds of volatile explosives, and the interior is too cluttered for bomb crews to negotiate safely, authorities said.
Among the reasons Schwarzenegger cited for the state of emergency declaration were the location of the house in a populated area and the evacuation of nearby homes to remove the explosives.
He also said that the "removal of this stockpile of highly explosive, unstable materials, by reason of their volatility and magnitude, are or are likely to be beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment and facilities of any single county."
