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.

Authorities say they have discovered the remains of seven bodies, the same number of people who had been reported missing.

Rescue crews are searching for seven people still missing days after an explosion at a fireworks warehouse in Northern California shook a tiny farming community and forced the cancellation of nearby July Fourth celebrations.
