A fireworks warehouse in Esparto, Northern California exploded, triggering multiple explosions and a significant fire. Firefighters responded to the scene, which involved several commercial buildings. The fire, spanning 78 acres, led to evacuation orders for nearby residents. As of Wednesday morning, evacuation orders were still in effect while some residents were permitted to return home. The cause of the explosion is under investigation, with a State Fire Marshal team deployed for support. Authorities advised the public to avoid the area for safety reasons as fire crews continued to work.
"The fire will take time to cool, and once it does, explosive experts must safely enter the site to assess and secure the area."
"The State Fire Marshal has sent an arson and bomb investigation team, and stands ready to provide additional support as needed."
