I started this stub since the event seems to meet notabillty criteria for events per WP:GEOSCOPE and coverage. -- DarTar ( talk) 23:47, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
Does anyone know what the name of "Rim" refers to? Tandrum ( talk) 14:16, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
Believe it or not, this fire could take out Yellowstone National Park! That's how big it is! -- Josh M ( talk) 21:39, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
Here's a good resource for the article. http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=81971 Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 01:53, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
Twice now, people have changed "unhealthful" to "unhealthy" in the sentence "Smoke from the fire caused unhealthful air conditions in Reno, Nevada and the Lake Tahoe area". They have tagged "unhealthful" as a "spelling error". Actually the words do have different meanings. "Unhealthful" means "not conducive to good health; unwholesome." [1] "Unhealthy" mostly means being in poor health, although a secondary meaning is the same as "unhealthful" above. [2] Although "unhealthy" can be used in this sense of meaning "bad for you", I think we should use the more precise and correct word. [3] -- MelanieN ( talk) 14:29, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
I checked the InciWeb update regarding the Rim Fire and found that the fire has reached 100% containment on Thursday, 24 October 2013 at 4 PM PDT.
I had updated the Wikipedia article on the Rim Fire and making a final revision to the article, including how many acres the fire burned and the cost to fight the fire. If anyone has any additional information regarding the Rim Fire containment, you're welcome to revise it more. 184.9.154.19 ( talk) 20:39, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
Is the date of the fire being fully extinguished (6 September) if the fully contained date is in October? Looking at the Forest service website, the 6 Sept date is simply the last date of entry on their website. CollinsEddy ( talk) 20:59, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
Added a section on the Rim Fire aftermath, since there are ongoing news and controversies about the burn area and its management. I've added a section on the controversy over the closure of the area, in particular the closure to morel mushroom hunters. I plan on expanding the section on the salvage logging controversy, since the discussion in the article so far represents minimal (and, I'd add, quite unbalanced) coverage of what was in fact, a much larger issue. So far, the article does not even mention Representative Tom McClintock's bill to open up the area to extensive salvage logging. Some sources I plan on using, so I can find them again: [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9].
Also, I've left the article with bare URL's so far, but will complete the references soon. Peter G Werner ( talk) 05:52, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
The CalFire link didn't say a date that the fire was extinguished, and the InciWeb link says it was contained in October. The fire can't be extinguished before it's contained - by definition, you have to contain it (complete a line around the entire fire) before you put it out. So I'm not sure where the dates are coming from, but unless we have some reliable sources that say otherwise, I'm going with the October containment date.

Keith Matthew Emerald of the Sierra foothills town of Columbia, Calif., was charged with two felonies: setting timber afire and lying to a government agency, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced Thursday. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.51.144.118 ( talk) 00:49, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
A new article has been created called Rim Fire Recovery Project. I don't believe it is separately notable but should be a part of this article Rim Fire. The significant information and references have already been merged into this article. After any additional merging is done, I propose that the Recovery Project article become a redirect to this article. -- MelanieN ( talk) 22:03, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
I carried out the merge today. -- MelanieN ( talk) 05:39, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
I started adding information about biological consequences of the Rim Fire from ongoing scientific monitoring. DerekELee ( talk) 12:58, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
