## Editorial handling

- Publish as official-source monitoring brief because the air-quality warning was renewed, N61319 appears as a new closer out-of-control watch point, and N61218/K51313 improved in status.
- Do not present wildfire map points as evacuation alerts.
- Keep Greenwood fire-department leadership as an unconfirmed community question pending named or official confirmation.
