Date, length, cited hook, and QPQ all check out, and the article appears to be within Wikipedia policies. Good to go. — Hunter Ka hn 03:49, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note: the figure in the hook may need to be updated by the time this is actually on the main page, the fire has flared back up and expanded rapidly the last few days. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:43, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
