An explosion at a fireworks warehouse in Esparto, California left seven people missing and resulted in nearby July Fourth celebrations being canceled. The blast ignited a massive fire that caused the building to collapse. Family members of those missing gathered near a sheriff's checkpoint seeking news. Among the missing is Jesus Ramos, who started work at the warehouse on the day of the explosion. Two individuals suffered injuries, and the cause is under investigation. Devastating Pyrotechnics managed the warehouse and expressed condolences to the families affected by the tragedy.
Family members gathered near a sheriff's checkpoint about a mile from the blast site in rural Esparto, hoping for news about their loved ones.
Syanna Ruiz, who is pregnant, said her boyfriend, 18-year-old Jesus Ramos, was working his first day at the warehouse when the explosion occurred.
The warehouse was managed by Devastating Pyrotechnics, which has more than 30 years of experience designing and producing fireworks shows in the Bay Area.
Our hearts and thoughts are with those we lost, their families, and everyone impacted in our community.
