In Southern California, a pyrotechnic device at a gender-reveal event sparked a fire that roared through thousands of acres.

Intense heat, parched conditions and high winds fueled record-shattering wildfires and strained the electrical grid across much of California on Monday, forcing the Forest Service to close eight national forests.

"Existing fires are displaying extreme fire behavior, new fire starts are likely, weather conditions are worsening, and we simply do not have enough resources to fully fight and contain every fire,” said Randy Moore, regional forester for the USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region. September and October are historically the worst fire months, Cal Fire spokeswoman Lynne Tolmachoff said: “It’s usually hot, and the fuels really dry out. And we see more of our wind events.”

Thenear Yucaipa began burning Saturday, and authorities said the culprit was a device sometimes used to release blue or pink smoke to announce the gender of an expected baby.

Ridiculous

Wood burns. Burning is a chemical reaction. You can look it up.

How can this even happen?

California sets record with 2M acres burned so far this yearSHAVER LAKE, Calif. (AP) — Wildfires have burned more than 2 million acres in California this year, setting a state record even as crews battled dozens of growing blazes in sweltering temperatures... Didn’t trump pull a substantial amount of funding for CA and our fires? This is on Trump. Denying global warming is fine until reality begins to affect us. God help us. I figured trump would’ve had his rake force get out there to fix this.
