## Editorial handling

- Publish as official-source monitoring brief because the weather warning was renewed, Southeast Fire Centre page updated, N61216 improved to Under Control, and newer farther wildfire-map watch entries remain in the API.
- Do not present wildfire map points as evacuation alerts.
- Keep Greenwood fire-department leadership as a unconfirmed community question pending named or official confirmation.
