Border patrol agent's explosive ‘gender reveal’ stunt sparks 47,000-acre wildfire and causes £6.3m damageAn elaborate stunt planned by a US Border Patrol agent to reveal the sex of his future child sparked a massive wildfire that spread over 47,000 acres of land and caused $8.2m (£6.3m) damage. Dennis Dickey, 37, shot a rifle at a target containing Tannerite, a highly explosive powder, at a “gender-reveal party” near Green Valley in Arizona. The “high-velocity” bullet was intended to cause an explosion of either blue or pink powder, but it also sparked flames which spread rapidly to the Coronado National Forest.
