## Editorial handling

- Published as a dated Daily Watch brief because nearby wildfire-map statuses changed materially, a new 38.6-km Out of Control map point appeared, haze/smoke remains in the official forecast and no local evacuation notice was found.
- Do not present wildfire map points as evacuation alerts or all-clear notices.
- Do not report council outcomes until minutes, a recording, or named/official confirmation exists.
- Keep Greenwood fire-department leadership as an unconfirmed community question pending named or official confirmation.
