Faith Stevens - 6th Silver - Gender Reveal Party Accident leaves Border Agent Bearing Guilt for Wildfire

A day meant to be filled with excitement and happiness was soon clouded over by fear and destruction. Dickey Dennis, intending to reveal the gender of his newborn child, instead started a wildfire that destroyed over $8 Million worth of land. Using a brand called "Tannerite", an explosive that comes in a box already filled with your choice of color, quickly exploded and set ablaze the forest of Arizona. He immediately reported it to law enforcement. He recently pleased guilty, and will slowly begin paying off the total amount over time, with 5 years probation and to appear in public service announcements with the Fire Rescues, assuming the judge agrees to the charges. It was all one large, very unfortunate accident, that has left the family scarred for life.

Obviously this article is intended for the people of Arizona, to coerce them on their concerns with the recent wildfire. The story covers what happened, why it happened, and how its being dealt with. Obviously we've all be a little too trigger happy with gun powder, and his is no exception to countless times through out history. The article was written today, and is providing a clear and clean announcement and report of what happened. It allows us to see that not everything always goes to plan, and in fact things can get very messy when we try to tamper with things we may not really know how to control. But hey, go big or go start a wild fire, am I right?
