RHOC Star Jennifer Pedranti Confirms Son Involved in Wildfire

“Real Housewives of Orange County” star Jennifer Pedranti has confirmed that one of her sons was involved in starting a brush fire in Ladera Ranch, California. The fire broke out Tuesday afternoon near Narrow Canyon Road and Acaster Way, spreading across seven acres before firefighters could contain it. “He and others were involved,” Pedranti wrote on Instagram. “My ex-husband and myself take this very seriously. This behavior is unacceptable and we are deeply sorry to our community”.

Pedranti shares four sons with her ex-husband William Pedranti, Harrison, 22; Dawson, 19; Greyson, 16; and Dominic, 12, along with daughter Everleigh, 14. She did not specify which son was involved. The Orange County Fire Authority confirmed that three minors were interviewed in connection with the blaze, and no arrests were made. The fire, reported at 4:45 p.m., was stopped by a coordinated ground and air response that prevented injuries and protected nearby homes.

Pedranti expressed gratitude that no property was damaged and no one was hurt. “The fire and police were absolutely amazing and gave these boys a lesson they will never forget,” she wrote . While her son faces no criminal charges, consequences are being put in place, including a fire safety course to “make sure a mistake like this never happens again”. The admission comes as Pedranti returns for the 20th season of “RHOC,” which premiered Thursday.

This isn’t the first time one of Pedranti’s sons has faced consequences. On the season 20 premiere, she revealed that her 16-year-old son Greyson was pulled over for speeding at 105 mph. “It’s so out of character for Greyson,” she said in a confessional. “It shook me on so many levels.” Now, with a wildfire tied to her family, Pedranti is making it clear: lessons are being learned, and accountability is non-negotiable.
