Jennifer Pedranti, a cast member of "The Real Housewives of Orange County," has stated that her son was involved in starting a brushfire that occurred in Ladera Ranch.
Pedranti shared this admission via her Instagram stories on Thursday, indicating that disciplinary actions would be taken against her son. Her statement read, "I would like to clear up the rumblings of my son having involvement in the Ladera Ranch fire. He and others were involved. My ex-husband and myself take this very seriously. This behavior is unacceptable and we are deeply sorry to our community. This is a tough learning moment for our son and our family."
She expressed gratitude that no property damage occurred and no individuals were injured. Pedranti added, "The fire and police were absolutely amazing and gave these boys a lesson they will never forget. There were no arrests made, but consequences for actions are being put into place."
According to Pedranti, her son will be participating in a fire safety course to ensure such an incident does not recur. She reiterated, "There are consequences within our family and we will make sure our son learns from this accident."
The brushfire, which began near Narrow Canyon Road and Acaster Way in Ladera Ranch on Tuesday afternoon, spread across seven acres before being contained by firefighters. Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Augie Romo confirmed that three minors were interviewed in connection with the incident, and no arrests were made. A comprehensive report is expected within ten days, with most details of the event currently under investigation.
