How we know

Growth is inferred from operational status and perimeter-control % (not a multi-day satellite growth series). Spread direction / wind is inferred from notes, regional wind regimes, and geography — not a formal fire-behaviour forecast.

Travel caution and smoke risk are derived for briefing only. From reports = explicit authority wording. Estimated = inferred from status, size, and exposure.
