Continuing incidents? It started less than 24 hours ago. If anything it would get a thread in the Initial Attack sub, but it appears that it’s been extinguished per the last update.

And it was posted in question and discussion area because of limited info, no initial attack thread was started and it didn’t go to an extended attack fire.
