Jennifer Pedranti<\/a> — a star on the hit show “The Real Housewives of Orange County” — says her son was involved in starting a brush fire in Southern California.<\/p>\n

The reality star posted on her Instagram Story just minutes ago … telling her followers she’d like to address rumors of her son’s involvement in Tuesday’s seven-acre blaze in the hills of Ladera Ranch, CA.<\/p>\n

Jennifer confirmed her son and several other kids were involved … and she and her ex-husband, Will Pedranti, are taking the incident very seriously.<\/p>\n

She apologized to her community … adding, this is “a tough learning moment for our son and our family.”<\/p>\n

Thankfully, Jennifer said no one was injured and there was no serious property damage. She says the firefighters and police were amazing and taught the boys a lesson they’ll never forget.<\/p>\n

She added her son will face the consequences for his actions — a fire safety course — and there will be consequences at home as well.<\/p>\n

No one was arrested in connection to the incident.<\/p>\n

While it may seem Jennifer’s son got off easy, law enforcement sources tell us this is pretty standard … minors setting fires that do not cause property damage aren’t usually hit with criminal charges — just the safety classes instead.<\/p>\n
