Carlos Javier Rodriguez-Mora, 43, of San Andreas, CA

Jesus Manaces Ramos, 18, of San Pablo, CA

Jhony Ernesto Ramos, 22, of San Pablo, CA

Angel Mathew Voller, 18, of Stockton, CA

Autopsies for all individuals were completed on Thursday, July 10. The cause of death for each remains undetermined pending further analysis.

The remains of all seven people missing were recovered on Sunday as the fallout continued after the massive explosion rocked the Esparto community early last week.

The explosion occurred Tuesday, July 1, at approximately 5:52 p.m. at a fireworks storage warehouse in Esparto, located near County Road 86A and County Road 23, triggering a series of fires and blasts that were heard and felt as far away as Vacaville and Woodland.

According to a KRCA 3 Investigates report, the facility was using a property that was not zoned for fireworks storage but only for agricultural use. To store anything other than agricultural equipment, the property owner would have needed a conditional use permit from the Yolo County Planning Commission. According to KCRA’s reporting, planning staff confirmed no such permit exists.

During the question-and-answer portion of a press briefing on Monday, when a question was asked if anyone had been in contact with an Esparto Fire District volunteer firefighter who was reported to own a fireworks business linked to the incident site, Esparto Fire Chief Curtis Lawrence mentioned that he had been in contact with him but could not elaborate further.

It was also revealed that the investigation was under the purview of the Office of the State Fire Marshal.

“From day one, we (Esparto Fire District) recognized this incident was beyond our capacity,” Lawrence said. “So with that, we are not doing the investigation; the Office of the State Fire Marshal is conducting the investigation. I’m not going to comment or I can’t comment, because I don’t know what their communication (State Fire Marshal and volunteer firefighter) has been.

“Whether this is right, wrong, or indifferent, I will tell you that at the beginning of the incident, I did have contact with our volunteer firefighter because he is a brother in our service and a member of the community. So yeah, we have had support conversations with him just to make sure he and his family were ok. But outside of that, as far as the investigation goes, no, we are avoiding any kind of conflict with that, and that is also why the State Fire Marshal took the lead on the investigation, not us.”

Lawrence mentioned that the volunteer in question was on a leave of absence.

When a question was asked about potential inspections or site visits, Lawrence mentioned that the Esparto Fire District had performed site visits and was aware of the facility, but that inspections by his department had not been conducted.

According to Lawrence, a site visit entails visiting the site and understanding what the operation looks like, as well as recognizing the presence of existing elements.

Authorities raided a San Francisco home on Tuesday in connection with the Esparto explosion, involving officials from the Yolo County Sheriff’s Office, the San Francisco Police Department, and the Sacramento Sheriff’s Office Bomb Squad. A spokesperson for the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to the San Francisco Chronicle that this raid was a part of a search warrant tied to the explosion investigation.

Business records indicate Kenneth Chee is the business owner at the San Francisco property that was searched. Chee, 48, was denied a license from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to possess fireworks and had a history of firearm convictions, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
