Note from the Editor, Erin Elizabeth: In recent years we have seen countless balloons released, even here near the ocean, which eventually end up harming or even killing marine life, and other stunts like this that are leaving animals and even humans dead. We suggest a good organic cake or clever way that doesn’t harm the environment or those in it for a gender reveal.
A “smoke-generating pyrotechnic device” used at a gender reveal party sparked the El Dorado Fire in San Bernardino County, according to a press release from Cal Fire.

As of Monday, the fire has grown to 8,600 acres and is just 7 percent contained, according to the San Bernardino National Forest. Thanks to hot and dry weather, the El Dorado fire continued burning overnight. On Monday, the fire made a significant push downslope as it impacted structures in its path. More than 600 personnel have been deployed to the fire, along with 60 engines, six aircraft and six helicopters.
The El Dorado fire is one of the multiple wildfires burning in California.
Although no charges have been announced in the El Dorado fire to date, CNN and others explained that the people who held the gender reveal party that sparked this devastating fire can and most likely will be held financially and criminally responsible.
