The reference list is massive, but all the citations I could check did indeed check out. I ran it through Earwig's Copyvio detector; the only substantial passage of similarity was quoted and cited to the source, so no issue there.
Note in particular the section on 'Causes', which neatly handles an area that is necessarily speculative without devolving either into gossip or withholding material.
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
No edit wars: constructive changes are still taking place, but the article has been broadly stable since at least the end of December 2022.
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
The images that exist are good, and excellent use has been made of US government media. Some more images of the actual fire might be helpful, if such exist in a useable form.
