Human Remains Found at California Fireworks Warehouse Explosion Site

  • On Tuesday evening in Esparto, Yolo County, a fireworks warehouse operated by Devastating Pyrotechnics exploded, causing fires and multiple smaller blasts.
  • The explosion happened because the property, owned by Yolo County Sheriff's lieutenant Sam Machado, was not permitted or zoned to store fireworks, and investigations into the cause continue.
  • Emergency crews maintained a safe perimeter while firefighting, with lingering hazards from unignited fireworks delaying recovery, and seven people remain missing amid ongoing search efforts.
  • Devastating Pyrotechnics offered their sympathies and appreciation for the efforts of first responders, while a fire official emphasized that the main focus remains on addressing ongoing hazards and supporting the sheriff's department in search and recovery operations.
  • Power outages affecting over 2,000 customers continue in some areas with evacuations partially lifted, and officials warn that investigations and site stabilization will take time before final reports are available.
