Seven people were "unaccounted for" in Yolo County's town of Esparto after several explosions at a fireworks warehouse resulted in a fire, officials said.

Beyond that, local officials cited the ongoing criminal investigation led by the Office of the State Fire Marshal. Investigators from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, as well as Cal-OSHA and others, are also investigating what unfolded in the late afternoon July 1.

The explosion, which left seven people missing, started a wildfire and forced some cities and counties to cancel or postpone Fourth of July fireworks shows.
