Fireworks warehouse explodes, sets off wildfire in Northern California
Fireworks stored in a Northern California warehouse blew up in a massive explosion that ignited a wildfire Tuesday in a pre-Fourth of July show, briefly triggering evacuations for nearby residents. The Oakdale fire started about 6 p.m. Tuesday in Esparto, about 35 miles northwest of Sacramento, after the explosion sparked several nearby spot fires, authorities said. The Yolo County Sheriff's Office warned residents to avoid the area for several days while they investigate the cause of the blast. 'The fire will take time to cool, and once it does, explosive experts must safely enter the site to assess and secure the area,' the Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post. Footage of the warehouse where the explosion occurred showed plumes of thick black smoke emanating from the structure, and helicopter footage from KCRA showed a burning warehouse with bright sparks shooting out of the structure followed by a large explosion. Residents in Esparto and Madison were under evacuation orders into Wednesday morning, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The fire started in a sparsely populated area in a warehouse and video shared on social media showed at least two noncommercial buildings burning in the blaze. By Wednesday morning, the Oakdale fire was 78 acres with no containment as it burns in fire-friendly weather conditions. Forecasts show the Esparto area will see temperatures reach up to 99 degrees with lows expected to dip into the lower 60s, according to the National Weather Service. Above-normal temperatures are expected to linger through Wednesday, bringing moderate heat risks across the region. The incident is the latest example of how quickly a fireworks mishap can turn from bad to worse. In 2020, a couple set off a pyrotechnic during a gender-reveal party in San Bernardino County. The special occasion sparked a 22,000-acre fire that killed a U.S. Forest Service wildland firefighter, destroyed five homes and forced hundreds to evacuate.

Man who helped Florida girl bitten by shark may be facing deportation
A man who ran into the water to help a 9-year-old girl after she was bitten by a shark in Florida may be facing deportation after he was arrested and accused of driving without a license days after the attack. Luis Alvarez, 31, of Lehigh Acres, in Lee County, Florida, around 140 miles northwest of Miami, was stopped about 1:30 a.m. on June 14 after police say he was driving without his headlights on. He was driving a gray SUV with a Rhode Island tag, according to the Collier County Sheriff's Office arrest report. Court records indicate he is being held in jail by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to reporting from the Fort Myers News-Press, part of the USA TODAY Network. He is scheduled to go before a judge on July 9. USA TODAY has reached out to ICE for more information. Why was Alvarez arrested? On the day of the arrest, at around 1:30 a.m. local time, police say Alvarez was driving a car without its headlights on when he was pulled over. When asked for his license, Alvarez called up a picture of his Employment Authorization Card on his phone. He told the arresting officer in Spanish that he had been in the country for two-and-a-half years and had never had a driver's license, according to the arrest report. Alvarez was arrested on a charge of driving without a license and was issued a warning for not having his headlights on. The arrest report said Alvarez is from Boaco, Nicaragua. Court records indicate he is being held in jail by ICE. Alvarez previously arrested in different Florida county Court records indicate Alvarez has no arrest history in Collier County. He was arrested on similar charges of not having a valid driver's license four times in Lee County, dating back to December 2023. Lee County is located in southwest Florida along the Gulf Coast. He paid fines or had adjudication withheld by three different judges. In the most recent case, the judge issued a D6 suspension on June 23, meaning since Alvarez had not paid his fine, he was unable to apply for a license. Alvarez ran in to help girl attacked by shark Alvarez was on the beach and ran into the water to help on June 11 when Leah Lendel, 9, was bitten by a shark. Lendel's hand was nearly severed after the attack, which happened in the ocean a few feet off the beach in Boca Grande, Florida. Lendel's hand was nearly severed, but fast action at the scene and an airlift to Tampa General Hospital allowed surgeons to reattach her hand. She is recovering. Alvarez went into the water first to scare the shark, her sister Raynel Lugo, who also helped during the rescue, said in an interview with Fox4 News. "He jumped in that area to bring her out when I was assisting Leah," said Lugo in the Fox4 interview. "He went deep underwater, not even caring about the shark. He went really deep. He probably faced the shark." Body camera footage from a Lee County Sheriff's Office Deputy who responded to the call shows the three men standing next to the water as Leah was being treated by EMS. Alvarez, through an interpreter, told first responders it looked like about an eight-foot shark. Experts later said it was possibly a bull shark, one of the more aggressive sharks in Florida waters.
