Facebook groups/pages remain lead-only unless readable without login and independently confirmed. ## Editorial handling - Published as a dated Daily Watch brief because the official air-quality warning returned, the closest out-of-control map entry grew in the API, two nearby wildfire-map statuses improved, and DriveBC updated nearby road-work items while no Boundary evacuation notice was found. - Do not present wildfire map points as evacuation alerts. - Keep Greenwood fire-department leadership as an unconfirmed community question pending named or official confirmation.
