The Court scheduled a sentencing hearing for October 9, 2018. 
 
 On April 23, 2017, near Green Valley, Ariz., U.S. Border Patrol Agent Dickey, who was off-duty at the time, ignited a fire that spread to Coronado National Forest, federal land administered by the U.S. Forest Service. This fire was referred to as the “Sawmill Fire.” Dickey started the fire by shooting a rifle at a target. Dickey had placed Tannerite, a highly explosive substance, inside the target, intending for it to detonate when shot by a high-velocity firearm bullet. Dickey fired shots at the Tannerite target, ultimately causing an explosion that started a fire that spread and resulted in damage to more than 45,000 acres of land managed by the State of Arizona, the U.S. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and various private landholders. Dickey immediately reported the fire to law enforcement, cooperated, and admitted that he started the fire. The total losses attributable to the fire, including suppression costs and damage to land and landholdings, totaled more than $8 million. 
 
 In his plea agreement, Dickey agreed to a sentence of five years’ probation, and to make a public service announcement with the U.S. Forest Service concerning the cause of the Sawmill fire. Dickey agreed to pay restitution totaling $8,188,069. Dickey also agreed to make an initial payment of $100,000 toward the restitution judgment and monthly payments thereafter. 
 
 The investigation in this case was conducted by the U.S. Forest Service. The prosecution was handled by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona, Tucson.

– Blue smoke indicating Dennis Dickey would be the father to a baby boy was briefly visible. But the flames erupting at the off-duty Border Patrol agent's gender-reveal party on state land in Green Valley, Ariz., quickly stole the focus, per the Arizona Daily Star. A man warned those gathered in the Santa Rita Mountain foothills to prepare to leave the grassy area seconds after Dickey used a high-velocity firearm to shoot a target filled with explosive Tannerite and colored powder, as seen in a newly released video from April 23, 2017—the day Dickey calls "probably one of the worst days of my life." The so-called Sawmill Fire eventually spread to become a 47,000-acre wildfire that caused $8 million in damage, though thankfully no injuries. Per the Arizona Republic, some 100 people were forced from their homes, however, as flames moved into the Coronado National Forest and beyond. Dickey initially agreed to pay $8.1 million in restitution, but as that would be "like getting blood from a stone," per his attorney, he'll now make an initial payment of $100,000, then monthly payments of $500 for 20 years to help cover a $220,000 penalty after pleading guilty to a federal misdemeanor charge of causing a fire without a permit, per the Star. Authorities say Dickey—also sentenced to five years' probation—immediately reported the fire, admitted to starting it, and cooperated with an investigation. The video of the incident, released Monday by the US Forest Service on a request from the Star, conceals the identities of two people who appear on camera, with an official citing privacy protection. (A Georgia man made the poor decision to shoot at a lawn mower filled with Tannerite.)
