Reporting, research, and history — by Ray Ford, Publisher
Lead story · Active dashboard
The dashboards now have their own category and are ordered with the most recent fire first. Sandy Fire leads the current stack, followed by Foothill Fire, with room to expand into a broader incident library over time.

Newest
Live incident page for the Simi Valley area fire, placed first in the dashboard sequence.
Current
Coverage page for the Cuyama Valley fire, preserved as a working model for incident structure and updates.
Structure
A dedicated category keeps active incidents together and makes it easy to present the most recent event at the top.
Research
The site can use dashboards for immediate field reporting while longer research pieces and fire histories live elsewhere in the architecture. That keeps live coverage quick to scan without losing the deeper context that sets the project apart.
As more incidents are added, the dashboard index can stay current-first while the permanent archive grows behind it.
Archive
Build long-form case studies separately from the active dashboards.
Reports
Use current incident pages as fast-turn reporting surfaces, then convert key events into durable archive entries.
Expansion
Each additional fire can slot into the dashboards category and be reordered by recency as events change.
