Gender Reveal Fire Settlement

The companies behind the pyrotechnic device just paid over $4 million to settle lawsuits tied to the massive El Dorado wildfire — which burned 23,000 acres, killed a U.S. Forest Service firefighter, and forced the government to spend millions fighting the blaze.

A chilling reminder: small celebrations can spark catastrophic consequences. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
