  • The couple whose gender reveal party started the 2020 El Dorado Fire reached a plea deal with prosecutors last week.
  • The father pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter for the death of firefighter Charlie Morton, along with two other felony counts.
  • The mother pleaded guilty to three misdemeanor counts, and the pair will pay nearly $1.8 million in restitution.

The couple whose gender reveal party ignited the El Dorado Fire in southern California in September 2020 reached a plea deal with prosecutors and were sentenced last week, the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office announced.

San Bernardino County District Attorney Jason Anderson previously said the Jimenezes used a smoke bomb to reveal the gender of their pregnancy at the El Dorado Park in Yucaipa, which sparked a brush fire that became known as the El Dorado Fire in September 2020. The blaze burned nearly 23,000 acres in the Oak Glen/Yucaipa Ridge area before it was contained 72 days later in November 2020.
