[edit]Wikipedia has inclusion criteria, and not every building (or entity) impacted by the wildfires will meet it. To ensure publication, confirm that the subject of the article you plan to write will meet the notability requirements. See WP:Building Notability, WP:Notability_(events), WP:Businesses with a single location and WP:Notability for the specifics.
