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.

The cause of the fire, which burned 78 acres, remained under investigation, according to Cal Fire, the state firefighting agency.

Authorities in Northern California announced on Saturday that they found the bodies of seven people who went missing last week after a deadly explosion at a fireworks warehouse. Newsweek has reached out to the Yolo County Sheriff's Department for comment via email on Sunday.
