Picture Needed
This article really needs a main picture. Why is it that the Lilac Fire is the only major fire (with an article) out of all the December 2017 So Cal fires that still doesn't have a picture? It's taking way too long.  Light and Dark2000  (talk) 03:54, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Dyk
Would anyone be interested in taking this to wp:dyk? I think it meets the criteria. As proof: created in last week, expanded five fold, sourced, no major style concerns, length is good... Anything else? Bardic Wizard (talk) 19:44, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Totally! However, I'm going to abstain on submitting it! Missvain (talk) 23:00, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I’ll do it tomorrow. (It’s late where I am and I’m tired). Bardic Wizard (Happy HanukkahMerry Christmas) 04:22, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Newbie to this kind of thing
So, it reached its peak affected area in one day, 4,100 acres, and didn't get any larger at all despite 0% containment that day, and despite it burning for another week? Is that correct? The Rambling Man (talk) 21:20, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Yep, that is true. It's quite remarkable, actually. I think it's the first time that firefighters in the area were successfully able to stop the rapid spread of a wildfire of this scale within a short period of time, especially given the Santa Ana conditions.

Inconsistency
The article states that the fire covered 50 acres within an hour, then goes on to state that within 20 minutes it had covered 500 acres. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.38.221.49 (talk) 15:05, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
