California Fireworks Warehouse Explosion: Industry expert shares insight following Esparto

A national fireworks safety expert is weighing in after the explosion at a warehouse in Esparto. Julie Heckman, executive director of the American Pyrotechnics Association, says the companies involved were not members of the national safety group. She explained how fireworks may be stored offsite under ATF regulations and said the Esparto site may have been a prep house rather than a licensed storage facility. Heckman is not part of the investigation but outlined how investigators typically assess responsibility.
