Yolo County officials confirmed Saturday afternoon that all seven of the missing workers' remains have been found after an explosion at a fireworks warehouse in Esparto.
The coroner's office is still working to identify the remains. Autopsies and DNA testing are set to begin this upcoming week.
This comes as the state fire marshal and agencies across the region have been at the scene all day, with officials saying they planned to blow up some undetonated fireworks and hazardous materials at the scene Saturday with small, controlled explosions.
The explosion occurred Tuesday evening at a warehouse that was not permitted to store fireworks in Esparto.
That property is owned by Yolo County Sheriff's Lieutenant Sam Machado, a county official said. Machado's home on the property was destroyed in the explosions and it's unclear if he was injured.
On Friday, officials said human remains were located after the coroner's division gained access to the site, but details at the time were limited.
A family identified three brothers — 18-year-old Jesus Ramos, 22-year-old Jhony Ramos and 28-year-old Junior Melendez — as three of the seven who were missing.
A fourth person was also identified by family as Carlos Rodriguez.
