On Tuesday, July 01, according to Yolo County authorities, seven people are missing due to a massive explosion at a fireworks warehouse in Northern California. The Yolo County Sheriff’s Office ordered the closing of a one-mile radius of the Devastating Pyrotechnics company.
Structures on the company property caught fire, and the aftereffects of the ensuing fires caused more than 80 acres to burn. Despite this, the community has shown remarkable resilience. Authorities, who are taking all necessary safety precautions, have since given the green light to residents to return to their homes. However, the search continues for the unaccounted persons.
A local CBS Sacramento news station advised that area residents have still not been able to contact family members who were in the facility at the time of the explosion. However, the search goes on in the evacuation zone, instilling a sense of hope that the missing persons will be found.
CBS spoke to Syanna Ruiz, 18, the fiancée of one of the seven missing people. Syanna said her boyfriend and two brothers-in-law are missing. She said that her boyfriend, Jesus Ramos, 18, had his first day on the job at the facility on Tuesday. This personal account of the impact on residents is a stark reminder of the human cost of the incident, evoking a sense of empathy in the community. California is no stranger to large fires.
