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.

Rescue crews were searching on Thursday 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.

Human remains have been found at the site where a fireworks warehouse exploded earlier this week, according to Yolo County officials. Seven people were reported missing after Tuesday's explosion and fire in Esparto.
