## Editorial handling

- Published as a dated Daily Watch brief because the air-quality warning continues, N61201 changed back to Out of Control in the wildfire-map feed, and the August 10 council agenda package is now visible 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.
