The wildfire that has burned more than 7,000 acres in Yucaipa and surrounding areas was caused by an explosive used during a gender reveal party, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
The state agency said the fire started at El Dorado Ranch Park in Yucaipa on Saturday morning, when a smoke-generating pyrotechnic device at the party sparked the flames. The wildfire broke out at 10:23 a.m., spreading to areas further north and triggering mandatory evacuations, officials said.
Dubbed the El Dorado Fire, it more than doubled in size Sunday as firefighters grappled with challenging weather conditions of extreme heat and low humidity.
“I’ve been watching this fire the last two days, watching it grow,” said Deborah Reynolds, who lives in Yucaipa. “I never thought it would come as far as it did, and all of a sudden, it was leaping towards my home.”
“The fireman was knocking on the door for me to get out. I had to leave my cats; I grabbed water and my purse and I went,” Reynolds said. She waited in a parking lot and prayed for the best.
The wildfire burned about 3,010 acres and was 5% contained by Sunday afternoon, Cal Fire officials said. At 7 p.m., San Bernardino National Forest officials estimated it was about 7,050 acres while remaining at a containment of just 5%.
“Today’s weather is a concern as it’s predicted to be the hottest day of the heatwave,” officials with the San Bernardino National Forest said Sunday morning. “The vegetation is also extremely dry.”
Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a State of Emergency in San Bernardino County due to the wildfire and secured federal assistance to fight fires burning in other parts of the state.
Residents can sign up for emergency alerts on the San Bernardino County website. The Red Cross has set up a reception site at the Yucaipa Community Center.
The wildfire pushed south across the northeast edge of Yucaipa, which led to some changes in evacuation orders through Sunday afternoon, according to fire officials.
Thank yew!
What the hale is a gender reveal party?
You find out the sex of the random blob of tissue and have a party to reveal it
Isn’t this the second ‘gender revel party fire’ in the last month or two?
Besides, isn’t gender reveal party just a party where everyone runs around without any pants on so they can reveal their gender to anyone who has had doubts?
was caused by an explosive used during a gender reveal party, “””
We are Farmers Bum bada bum bum bum bum bum...
I have mixed feelings about “Gender Reveal” parties. On the one hand, I think they’re silly and pretentious. On the other hand, I like the fact that the thought of these parties drives a lot of “woke” people nuts, because many of them feel the child should be allowed to select their own gender. Also, these parties reinforce the fact that there are only two possible genders for the child.
Formal name should be “Herr bankrupt”
Huh?
Wait until they get the bill for this fire, I Guarantee You they will come after everyone invo0lved to Pay for this.
A gender reveal party??
That’s a new one on me.
All sort of weird things are popping up in my mind.
Is it anything like, I’ll show you mine if you show me yours?
Or is it a trans coming out ceremony?
Or...
Another step in the wussification of our country. I’m with this guy: https://youtu.be/PjbUK1qlfok
Technically...should wait till they are 2 years old for the child to reveal their chosen gender. No sooner!
After all, why should the parents indoctrinate the child? ...let the society do it.
Suppose the kid wants to “change” gender? Do you hold an unparty? Every attendee vomits food and drink...and get their gifts back?
Opps, grabbed the ad link by mistake. Here’s the one to the comedian: https://youtu.be/Yhl6UWuTjcE
It’s in the second paragraph of the story.
Liberals!
Destroying everything they touch since they brought divine retribution down on Sodom and Gomorrah.
Gender reveal party...unreal. Look at me, me, me...more millennial self-interest crap. Good grief.
