(FOX40.COM) — The California State Fire Marshal’s Office said it revoked pyrotechnic licenses of the individuals and companies involved with the Esparto fireworks facility that exploded last month, killing seven people.
According to Cal Fire, the agency found evidence that Kenneth Chee, Craig Cutright, and their companies, Devastating Pyrotechnics Inc. and Blackstar Fireworks, had broken several firework-related laws and regulations.
Cal Fire said offenses included not filing proper importation documents, not reporting lost fireworks, possession of fireworks without a local fire permit, and “numerous additional allegations that remain part of the criminal investigation still underway.”
“Since the explosion, our arson and bomb investigators and deputy state fire marshals have been laser focused on not only determining the circumstances leading up to the incident, but also whether or not the operators were working with their state issued licenses,” Chief Daniel Berlant said. “While this concludes our administrative license investigation, we continue to make progress in the post blast investigation.”
