A "gender reveal party" mishap in Grant-Valkaria sparked a brush fire that burned 10 acres last weekend — and the Florida Forest Service has issued a notice of violation.

The fast-moving blaze — which threatened two nearby homes — was triggered by Tannerite, an explosive rifle target used for shooting practice, a FFS incident report said.

On March 27, Brevard County implemented a ban on open burning, such as bonfires, campfires and trash burning, because of ongoing drought conditions.

The Grant-Valkaria gender reveal party occurred the next day, on March 28. The brush fire broke out shortly after 3 p.m. FFS Orlando District officials noted the temperature reached 93 degrees that afternoon, according to the report.

Fire cause: "Gender reveal with Tannerite target," the FFS report said.

A trend that needs to die with the quickness.

"Use common sense. Although the burn ban doesn’t cover explosives, we need to be mindful of what something as seemingly innocent as this can cause," Schollmeyer said.

This florida man learned something new today.
