A fire sparked by a pyrotechnic device used during a gender reveal party has burned more than 10,000 acres since Saturday.

The El Dorado Fire in Southern California's San Bernardino County has scorched 10,574 acres and was 16% contained as of Tuesday, according to fire officials, who say it's "one of the most dangerous fires" they've seen in the area.

The fire was caused by a "smoke-generating pyrotechnic device" used at a party on Saturday morning in El Dorado Ranch Park in Yucaipa, about 70 miles east of Los Angeles, Cal Fire investigators determined.

Evacuations have been ordered in the area as homes have been threatened. About 87 large wildfires are burning across the United States, with California hit hardest.

1. Ok, I'll be the first to ask -

what is a gender reveal party? And how does it differ from any other party that employs pyrotechnics?

2. During a pregnancy, the parents invite friends and family to a party where the sex of their unborn

baby is revealed with blue or pink something--in this case, smoke.

3. People still do this stupid fad?

Gender reveal parties are so 2017. Hopefully, this event will put an end to sheeple hosting unnecessary, and quite stupid trend of gender reveal parties.

5. The parents should name the baby Phoenix, because they may have

to rise from the ashes of Court rulings against them if people’s homes burn.
