‘Gender Reveal’ Idiots Burn Yet Another Mountain Range in #California

Yet another bunch of morons have yet again burned down a mountain range because they couldn’t just open their mouths to tell their friends what gender their next baby is going to be. Nope, these geniuses had to transmit this basic information by using a pyrotechnic device that shoots out either blue or pink smoke. These explosive devices are sold in stores and cost around US$100. The problem with these devices is that they also shoot out sparks that can easily cause wildfires. Now, imagine how smart you have to be to detonate one of these devices in the extremely dry shrublands of California in the middle of a heat wave. Super smart, right? California fire officials say it’s exactly this rare type of genius that caused the massive El Dorado wildfire that is currently still burning out of control near Yucaipa in San Bernardino County. The officials say the fire was caused by a smoke-generating pyrotechnic device used during a “gender reveal” gathering. The fire started at 10:23 on the morning of Saturday September 5. The El Dorado fire alone has already burned through 7,400 acres of shrubland, and forced the evacuation of 3,000 people. A massive force of 527 people are using four helicopters, 60 fire engines, 10 buildozers, and supporting vehicles to try and contain the fire, which is still only seven percent contained. Just a few miles away, this massive Cal Fire air tanker was working hard to contain another big wildfire. This is a huge Boeing 747-400 that has been fitted with fire-fighting tanks and sprayers. It’s quite a sight! But unfortunately, people will have to look at a very different sight for years to come. The sight of beautiful mountains turned into ugly wasteland.
