California official: Family behind gender reveal party triggering El Dorado fire may have to foot bill: report
A California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection official told the Daily Mail the couple responsible for triggering the El Dorado wildfire during a gender reveal party gone astray could be liable to foot the entire bill for the destruction, which is expected to cost millions.
The fire was started by a smoke-generating pyrotechnic device used for the gender reveal party on Sept. 5 in the El Dorado Ranch Park in Yucaipa.
Bennett Milloy, a spokesperson for California's Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, told the outlet that the couple hosting the party was still at the scene when firefighters arrived. "We know how it started because they were still there," Milloy said. "That, and the fact that there were surveillance cameras in the park."

The couple could also face a variety of criminal charges, which would be more severe depending on whether or not homes were destroyed.
"They genuinely believed it was an accident," Milloy added. "But I think now they understand the gravity of the situation." CLICK HERE FOR MORE ON OUR TOP STORY.
