Several people are missing after the fire, fireworks attachment in California at the explosion level

The authorities said on Wednesday that seven people were missing after a fire and a strong explosion that directed a commercial fireworks facility in northern California countryside, the authorities said on Wednesday.

Air footage from the local media showed the large building that looks like warehouse in the face of Tuesday evening in a huge thunderstorm that shook a large area around the Yulu County community in Esparto, about 64 km west of Sacramento, the state capital.

The explosion, which was wandering in your thick black smoke, followed dozens of smaller explosions that were flashing in the sky over the site, and it appears to be ignited through the reserves of fireworks stored on the site.

About 32 hectares of the surrounding vegetation, according to Forest Clay, a spokesman for the California Forestry and Fire Administration.

Cortis Lawrence, head of the Esparto Fire Protection Zone, told reporters on Wednesday, about 24 hours later, that two people were injured in this initial event that received a medical treatment, and seven other individuals were missing.

Lawrence said the cause of the accident, which occurred three days before the celebrations of the fourth American Independence Day in July, which usually involved fireworks, was under investigation by the State Fire Office.

The authorities said that firefighters and other emergency response staff were keeping a safe distance from the site, as the teams continued to conduct assessments of the continuous risks posed by live fireworks, which continued to start at random intervals until Wednesday evening.

The teams flying drones and aircraft over the area were seeking to determine the fate of the missing and monitor the remaining risks, according to Lawrence.

The authorities refused to say whether the missing workers were from the facility or passers -by, but he said that there were no losses between firefighters or other emergency staff.

“I can say that I saw nothing like this,” Lawrence said.

In response to a question about how the authorities will know when they were safe enough for the adventure on the site, he said: “It is difficult to get a final answer to when it will be and what it appears already.”

Lawrence said the evacuation area was established around the site, and it was about 150 homes and farms without authority as a result of the accident.

He described the facility that was demolished as a licensed fiery company that includes commercial fireworks that were sold for the general offer. But it was not clear whether fireworks were stored only there or were also produced on the site.
