Milli Fire

 * ... that during the summer of 2017, the Milli Fire (pictured) burned over 24000 acre of forest land, much of it in the Three Sisters Wilderness area?

Source: On 28 September, a Bend Bulletin article reported the Milli Fire had burned 24079 acre. Most of the sources mention the fire being in the Three Sisters Wilderness. Here’s an example from a Bend Bulletin article dated 22 Aug 2017: “The Milli Fire near Sisters is burning westward in the Three Sisters Wilderness … the Milli Fire was most active on the north side of Black Crater and was observed burning downhill near Lava Lake camp and North Matthieu Lake, all in the Three Sisters Wilderness.”

 * Symbol question.svg Hook looks good, I have bolded it as per norm. I have to say I am not sure the image used is the most appropriate. I would prefer the image used in the infobox or this image. The article is long enough and well-sourced, as well as being new enough. I'm not satisfied with the image sourcing, links should be provided to the individual image and not the gallery.

 * Added the two recommended images above for comparison; also as recommended, changed image sources to reference individual on-line images vice using Forest Service photo image page.--Orygun (talk) 06:00, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks for improving the image sourcing. I prefer the third image, but I see no problems with using either the second or third image. Jon Kolbert (talk) 16:02, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg  you should provide a review that explicitly confirms that the five main DYK criteria have been met. So far you have covered newness, length, and sourcing. Please also indicate whether the article meets inline hook cite, neutrality, and close paraphrasing criteria. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 12:39, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
