When I first heard of the fire just now on the radio, I naturally heard it as "car fire". When, after scrolling down past a number of "Car fire..." articles, I found this article with the "Carr" spelling, my confusion cleared up...until I saw that it is thought to have been started by a "mechanical vehicle malfunction", and I was re-confused. I wonder whether emergency personnel referred to it at first as a "car fire", which quickly got misunderstood as it "exploded" in size. --

Just for future reference, on mapping services Carr Powerhouse Road appears as South Shore Drive. There is a carved and brightly painted wooden sign at this intersection that says "Carr Powerhouse". You can see this sign in Google Street View and in Bing Streetside. There does not appear to be any official sign to tell people that the road's name is S. Shore Dr., so people assume that the road is called Carr Powerhouse Road. Abductive (

I'm glad I browsed through the talk page before asking my question! I was attempting to locate the intersection of Carr Powerhouse Rd and CA-299 and I couldn't find it. I can alert Google to the error. But I feel weird about doing so, as I've never even been to Redding. I'm just a weirdo who likes to look at burn scars on Google Maps 😆

Have a look in the page history, there was some persistent vandalism over the last day or so. Feel free to propose a change here and I or someone else will make sure it gets added to the page. — Insertcleverphrasehere(

Thanks.
Section heading "Air quality and meteorological" needs to be changed. Maybe just "Air quality"?
In the first sentence, maybe "in California, United States" can be changed to "in the US state of
California."
According to recent developments, including the 2020 tornado from the
Loyalton Fire, the National Weather Service had determined under these conditions it is an actual tornado and not just a
fire whirl. I understand that this is new information so I didn't want to make major changes to the article without discussion. However, as reference material, kindly refer to
Draft:Pyrotornado. Kind regards.
