Summary
Yolo County supervisors are firing back at a damning grand jury report that accuses them of ignoring illegal fireworks operations before a deadly 2025 explosion. In a 20-page rebuttal, they argue the report ignores the complex roles of local, state, and federal agencies and misreads evidence from a 2022 inspection. The supervisors insist county staff didn’t willfully ignore red flags—and that the grand jury jumped to conclusions without full context. The July 2025 blast killed seven workers and led to eight indictments, five of them for murder. The county’s preliminary response may change at today’s meeting, as officials push back against what they call an incomplete and overly simplistic account of events.
