Comment: Please use footnotes rather than putting all of the sources at the end of the article. This will make it easier for reviewers to verify the content. Thanks! asilvering (talk) 05:21, 14 August 2025 (UTC)
Comment: Hi! If there isn't yet enough information about the fire to write a more solid Wikipedia article, it can be best to wait for more sources to report on it first. I invite you to take a look at WP:42 which sums up the kind of sourcing that is usually expected. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 12:04, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
