Family behind "gender reveal" party that sparked California wildfire could owe millions

The family behind the gender reveal party that sparked a California wildfire could be hit with charges — and a massive bill to cover the costs of putting out the blazes, authorities said.

Cal Fire spokesman Bennet Milloy said the group could be on the hook for millions to cover the hundreds of firefighters, helicopters and planes employed to tackle the El Dorado Fire, the Daily Mail reported.

They also could face a “variety of charges,” including arson, which carries a sentence of up to nine years, Milloy said.

The family stayed on the scene after using a smoke-generating pyrotechnic device that ignited the wildfire, which had torched over 7,000 acres (11 square miles) near El Dorado Ranch Park as of late Sunday.

The devices are often used at such gatherings to spew pink or blue smoke to reveal the gender of the baby.

These gender reveal parties are stupid anyway. No one cares whether someone is having a boy or a girl.

Thank you for your opinion.
Obviously you are flat wrong since plenty of people do care about these parties. Duh, why do you think they have them?

On the other hand, it isn’t worth burning down a friggin’ forest!

As they should pay for it. They live in California and can't be oblivious to how fires can flare up quickly and be out of control before you know it...so outrageously stupid of this family and they're having kids!

With 57 - 75 genders, that had to be a lot of potential fireworks going off!!

Why should they be any more responsible for paying for the damage they caused than the idiots burning down business, etc. around the country?

Yes, there are plenty of very stupid people in this world.

Wait for the baby to come and then you will know the gender.

Otherwise a gender reveal party is just plain stupid!
