Arizona Wildfire All Started By Gender Reveal Party

A wildfire that caused more than $8 million in damage in Arizona last year was caused by an explosion during a gender reveal party held by a U.S. Border Patrol agent. Here's how it was supposed to work.  Someone fired a gun at a target that exploded with blue smoke, indicating a boy.  But the explosion ignited the dry grass around it and ended up sparking the Sawmill wildfire that burned over 45,000 acres. Dennis Dickey, a U.S. Border Patrol agent, pleaded guilty to starting the fire at the party for he and his wife.  He was sentenced to 5 years probation and must pay $8.1 million in restitution. Is this the worst gender reveal idea ever?  Do you like gender reveal parties or should they go away?
