Officials have confirmed that human remains were found at the scene of a destructive fireworks blast in California that shook the small town of Esparto on Tuesday.

In a statement released on Friday, Yolo County authorities disclosed that the remains were discovered during the investigation into the fire at the fireworks storage facility.

The blast, which took place at a site managed by Devastating Pyrotechnics, has prompted a thorough inquiry, as seven people are still unaccounted for.

The blast not only caused significant destruction to the warehouse, but also sparked a massive fire that spread rapidly, triggering several spot fires throughout the region.

In the aftermath of the explosion, nearby Fourth of July festivities were called off, and the rural community was left in shock.

Yolo County’s Coroner’s Division was granted access to the site on Friday, and officials confirmed they are in contact with the families of the missing, The Associated Press reported.

While no positive identifications of the remains have been made at this time, recovery efforts are still ongoing.

‘We are working diligently to identify those involved and offer support to their families during this tragic time,’ Yolo County spokeswoman, Jessica Williams, said.

In addition to the missing persons, two individuals have been treated for injuries, though their conditions remain unclear.

The cause of the explosion is still under investigation, and authorities are working with federal agencies to determine what led to the catastrophic incident.

The warehouse is known for producing large-scale fireworks displays for major events in the Bay Area. The company, which has been in business for over 30 years, stated in a brief statement that it would fully cooperate with the investigation.

Before its website was taken down, it was noted that Devastating Pyrotechnics focuses mainly on display fireworks for large productions, rather than retail products.

Meanwhile, further south in Los Angeles, fireworks-related incidents continued to cause havoc. On Thursday night, a ‘fireworks-related blaze’ erupted in a neighborhood, destroying four homes.

Authorities confirmed one man was found dead at the scene, while a woman was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Four other individuals were treated for smoke inhalation on-site, and several animals were reported injured in the fire.

Firefighters battled the blaze through the night, with fireworks still erupting in the area when they arrived.

The Los Angeles Fire Department managed to bring the situation under control, but the cause of the fire is still under investigation.

‘We are continuing to assess the damage and work to determine the cause of this tragic event,’ Las Angeles spokesperson Lyndsey Lantz said.

As investigations continue in both Northern and Southern California, local residents are grappling with the aftermath of these fireworks-related tragedies.

One woman, Syanna Ruiz said her boyfriend – an expectant father – went missing during his first day working at the sprawling fireworks factory.

Her boyfriend, Jesus Ramos, 18, was one of the seven people unaccounted for after the chilling explosion.

Ruiz is one of those loved ones waiting in fear. She told local ABC affiliate, KSBW-TV, that she has a ‘baby on the way’ with Ramos.

‘We have a baby on the way and I can’t even risk things like that right now,’ she told the outlet in tears.

‘He had so much coming for him and they were saying that there was a warning beforehand but somebody is behind this. There’s no way that this just happened.’

She added that the explosion happened on her boyfriend’s first day and that he was excited to start a new chapter.

Ruiz was in attendance for a press conference, where she pressed officials on why the families impacted haven’t received more information.

‘We were here since yesterday and are yet to receive any information, have yet to see any efforts and yet to see anybody go, to try to find anybody at all who was stuck in the warehouse, who have tried to escape or is possibly stuck under the debris of the warehouse,’ Ruiz told officials.

Esparto Fire Chief Curtis Lawrence said authorities were doing the best they could with the information they had and apologized that the updates may not be what families want to hear.

‘But you guys are supposed to protect us from danger, you guys are supposed to deal with the danger,’ Ruiz hit back.

Ruiz spoke with local news about her frustration with the lack of communication between first responders and the impacted families 

She told local ABC affiliate, KXTV, that Ramos joined the factory with his three brothers, who were also reported missing.

‘They were all three incredible men who had so much coming for them. And I’m just praying to God that some way, somehow that they’re okay,’ she said.

Victims’ services were set up for the families of the seven people who were reported missing.

Authorities haven’t confirmed the identities of those who remain unaccounted for or whether they were employed with the pyrotechnics facility.
