Seven people are missing after a warehouse holding fireworks caught fire and set off a series of massive explosions in Northern California late Tuesday.

Video from the U.S. Forest Service Los Padres National Forest and CAL Fire shows the Madre Fire turning the sky orange across Southern California on Wednesday, July 2, 2025. The fire quickly spread, becoming the state's largest this year.

Three homes in Pacoima caught on fire Thursday night. The Los Angeles Fire Department said it started at roughly 9 p.m. in the 12900 block of Corcoran Street. Firefighters said fireworks were active at the scene. LAFD entered defensive mode and started fighting fire from a safe distance "to prioritize life safety," the department said.

More than 130 firefighters battled a fire involving fireworks explosions that engulfed four homes in Pacoima and critically injured a woman on Thursday night, authorities said.
