@Sammi Brie Thank you very much for the thorough review! Made the changes. — Penitentes (talk) 13:20, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Did you know? If you fancy doing so, I always have plenty of GA nominees to review. Just look for the all-uppercase titles in the Television section. Reviews always appreciated.

At 5:00 p.m., the head of the fire crested the hills above Green Valley, and an hour later a second flank of the fire entered the canyon as firefighters fought to protect the structures there, and were partially successful: by the end of the day, the fire had burned more than 15,600 acres (6,300 ha) and had added five homes to its toll. Sentence is quite long.

Sourcing and spot checks

1: The Signal article checks out for inaccessible definition of terrain, Green Valley, 5,600 acre number, cresting, and firefighter counts. Y
6: one of the earliest fire seasons in decades Y
10: Near-shutdown of the second line; reduced containment; 2,000 in Green Valley and Warm Springs to evacuate. Y
16: Final county road damage toll; June 7 local emergency. Y
17: Environmental damage assessments. Y

No other sourcing concerns. Earwig mostly turns up banal phrases and organization names.

There are two images, both in the infobox. The map is the user's creation and appropriately licensed. (It's truly impressive, by the way.) The other is PD-NASA. Alt text is provided.
