The video brought the fire back into the public conscious, resulting in both Dickey and the concept of gender reveal parties." - weird dangling sentence fragment.
Good, interesting article; nicely done. Just one thing, and it may be me being obtuse or unobservant, would it be possible to indicate (perhaps on the infobox map) where the fire started and which way it spread. I've looked, tried to work it out, but as far as i have seen there isn't even a wind direction linked with its reported speed, which would at least give an idea of how it spread. I've tried to visualise it from the place names mentioned, but several aren't on the map, and i can't get the spread clear in my mind. It is a small point, but one which would, i think, improve the article. Happy days ~ Lindsay H ello 10:13, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
Currently, the first line says "46,991 acres (190 km2)". Infobox even says "46,991 acres (19,017 ha; 73.423 sq mi)". Obviously that exact acre number is from source 28, but still: overly precise. Theis article also has five-digit precision elsewhere.
In general, as the TFA-blurb does, this precision is either not in place, or not even correct (how measured?). I propose to change into |sigfig=3
, so 47,000 acres (19,000 ha; 73.4 sq mi). Also, common units like ha and sqmi do not require a link. (|lk=off

Great article, very interesting (and amusing) read. But I'm left with one question, why is it called the "Sawmill Fire"? cityuser ( talk) 20:15, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
