Remove Sunset Fire?

The lead-in to this article's table states that the fires included in the table "burned more than 1,000 acres (400 ha), produced significant structural damage, or resulted in casualties." Sunset Fire did none of these things, so either 1) it should be removed from the list, or 2) the lead-in needs to be adjusted to address whatever notability warrants having Sunset Fire on the list.

Ghost towns??

Your input at Talk:Altadena, California#Ghost town?? would be appreciated, where an editor believes the fire has created a "ghost town". Thank you. --Magnolia677 (talk) 16:34, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

IP addition

I still strongly disagree with this due to the unreasonable amount of detail it puts on the socal fires. As bad as it seems, these fires are going to be just a relatively small part of a big wildfire season. The content is more on-topic in January 2025 Southern California wildfires and I will remove it again unless consensus is achieved in favor of it.

I agree with Jasper on this issue. KyaniteAl2SiO5 (talk) 05:14, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
