Against the odds, the City of Marysville united to ensure the cherished tradition would shine on as planned, simply a day later than expected.

In the first moments after explosions at a fireworks warehouse in Esparto rocked the community, a man who lived nearby sprang into action towards falling flames and live fireworks, just hoping he could help.

Human remains have been found at the warehouse filled with fireworks that exploded in Northern California this week, officials said.
