The U.S. Forest Service has released video showing the moment a huge Arizona wildfire started when a border patrol agent shot a target at a gender reveal party.
The 49-second clip clearly shows the Sawmill Fire starting in yellow grassland from the exploding target in the Santa Rita Mountain foothills on April 23, 2017.
The blaze burned 47,000 acres and required 800 firefighters to contain at a cost of $8.2 million.
Border Patrol Agent Dennis Dickey admitted to starting the fire and agreed to pay $220,000 in restitution after pleading guilty Sept. 27.
