Los Angeles

A deadly explosion linked to illegal fireworks caused a fire that destroyed several homes in Los Angeles County. One man in his 30s was found dead, and a woman suffered severe burns and remains in critical condition. The blast damaged four homes and two additional units, displacing 18 residents. Authorities are investigating whether the fireworks were being illegally stored or sold at the property. Multiple agencies, including the Los Angeles Fire Department and police, are conducting inquiries into the cause of the explosion and the circumstances surrounding the storage of hazardous materials.

Deadly fireworks-related explosion sets multiple homes ablaze in L.A.

Let's go to California on the mountain now, where illegal fireworks are suspected in the explosion of a house in Los Angeles County. A man is dead, a woman badly injured there. CBS News Los Angeles reports from fires, where a blast spread to other homes, as California officials begged people to stop igniting illegal fireworks. KCAL News reporter Rick Montanez is live in Pacoima with the fallout. And Rick, what does it look like out there? Christine, Rachel, right now I can tell you this neighborhood is still blocked off. There are multiple investigations going on at the same time. And we want to show you what the damage is out here. It is extensive. So we're going to give you two perspectives. From our ground shot here, this live image is of the house where they believed everything started. And at the same time on your screen, you will also see video from SkyCal to see where exactly the fire spread to, because we're talking about multiple homes here. Where there are four properties that caught fire, two of them have ADUs. So that's a total of six occupancies that are damaged. Four of those are red tagged after this massive fire. An intense display, several homes burned. LAFD is not saying exactly how much, only that a large amount of fireworks exploded late last night. This was around nine o'clock. A major emergency declared by LAFD. 130 firefighters responded to Corcoran Street here in Pacoima. A frightening scene as they showed up here. Fireworks exploding, homes burning, people injured. One man ultimately discovered dead in the home. He's described as a man in his 30s, according to investigators. Witnesses say they also saw a woman with severe burns to her legs. LAFD says she is in critical condition this morning. A lot of debris and ash also from those fireworks rained down all across this neighborhood. And investigators right now are trying to figure out why so many fireworks were in that home, whether someone was illegally storing and or selling them. It's very concerning. You know, the communities, the neighborhoods are not zoned for handling hazardous materials or explosives, which is what fireworks are. And you know that you need to have a certain distance and space to be able to safely handle. That's one aspect of it. The other one is that all these fireworks that are being sold, the majority of what is being sold illegally out of garages is powerful stuff. And you can see just how powerful by the damage to this home here. We can tell you that we just learned from LAFD 18 people in total from those six different homes now displaced because of all the damage out here. And as I mentioned, multiple investigations underway. So the medical examiner's office is trying to determine how that man died and his identity. And then LAPD is looking into the criminal aspect of those fireworks that were out here at this home. And LAFD trying to figure out exactly what sparked either the fire or the fireworks to cause all of this damage. And ultimately, that man who died out here in this fire reporting live in Pacoima, Rick Montanez, KKL News.
