A man has been arrested after nearly 1,300 pounds of illegal fireworks were found by Fresno police.
Authorities say they have discovered the remains of seven bodies, the same number of people who had been reported missing.
A man was killed and a woman left in critical condition after a fireworks explosion set multiple homes on fire in Southern California Thursday night.
Seven people remain unaccounted for after a massive explosion at a fireworks warehouse in Northern California that sparked a fire and forced evacuations.
Fireworks are a central part of Independence Day celebrations, with families usually planning to cap off the holiday with the shooting sparks as they light up the night sky.
Fireworks sales are expected to be booming later this week.
