Summary
Yolo County supervisors are fiercely defending themselves against a damning civil grand jury report that blames them for the deadly Esparto explosion — seven lives lost — citing lax oversight of unincorporated zones and weak fire code enforcement. But supervisors counter that the real culprit was the fireworks company’s deceit, arguing the grand jury missed key evidence revealed later in criminal proceedings. The Sheriff’s Office also disputes the report, and the building owner walked free on bail — leaving a tangled web of blame as the community grapples with tragedy and accountability.
