Improved to Good Article status by The4lines (talk). Self-nominated at 19:59, 10 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Witch Fire; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

@The4lines: Article was recently promoted to GA status, so it is eligible. QPQ is not needed. I feel as if you're trying to put a bit too much information into the ALT0. Are you able to remove some information a bit? Maybe it just needs the high evacuation numbers or other statistics? —Panamitsu (talk) 02:46, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

ALT0a: ... that the Witch Fire contributed to almost 1 million people evacuating Southern California?

I formatted ALT0a, but I will tweak the hook a bit.
