## Editorial handling

- Published as an official-source monitoring brief because the air-quality warning returned after Friday’s warning-field-clear state, and nearby wildfire-map statuses changed.
- Do not present wildfire map points as evacuation alerts.
- Keep Greenwood fire-department leadership as an unconfirmed community question pending named or official confirmation.
