"Guilty Pleas in Deadly Wildfire Gender-Reveal Disaster"

The father involved in the gender reveal photo shoot that sparked a deadly wildfire in Southern California in 2020 has pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and will serve a year in jail, while the mother pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges. The fire, caused by a smoke-generating pyrotechnic device, resulted in the death of a firefighter and forced evacuations, destroying homes and buildings. The couple has been ordered to pay restitution, and the U.S. Forest Service has filed a lawsuit against the device's manufacturers. The incident highlights the increasing challenges of fighting wildfires in the face of climate change.
