A smoke device deployed at the El Dorado Ranch Park in California started a wildfire that burned for 23 days across 22,000 acres and led to the death of a firefighter.<\/p>\n<p>In another accident, debris from a homemade explosive used for a gender reveal struck a woman in Iowa and killed her in October 2019.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
