YOLO COUNTY – Seven people were missing Wednesday afternoon, a day after a warehouse storing fireworks exploded in Yolo County, authorities said. The explosion also sparked a vegetation fire and triggered evacuations.

The fiery blast occurred at a Yolo County property used by Devastating Pyrotechnics, a company known for staging large-scale fireworks displays.

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