ESPARTO, Calif. —

As investigators continue to look into what happened at an Esparto fireworks storage facility that led to a series of explosions and the deaths of seven people , experts are now looking at what needs to change in the future.

Their goal: to make sure something like this never happens again.

"We are putting together a task force," said Daniel Berlant, the California State Fire Marshal.

That task force will include law enforcement and fire service leaders. They will look at the state regulations regarding fireworks, fireworks operators, and storage facilities in an effort to close any loopholes.

"Now, the law says you must get a state license from us to have pyrotechnics and that you then must go to a local jurisdiction to get a local permit," said Berlant.
