Griton Forest Fire, January 2022

The Griton Forest Fire of January 2022 was a large, naturally caused fire that occurred on January 6, 2022 just outside of Griton Sea Port. The fire affected a wide area of the roofed forest on the east outskirt of Griton. Griffin2448 quickly responded to the scene to dispatch the fire using a water bucket. The fire was doused before damage to any structures could occur.

The cause of the fire was determined to be a lightning strike that happened right as a large thunderstorm was ending. The lightning was able to strike the top of the roofed forest right after the rain stopped, causing the fire to develop and spread. No other external factors were found to be at fault for the fire. This fire has led to discussion within the Griton Federation concerning the need for a national fire fighting operation. Previously, it had been widely accepted that no such force was needed due to the way Griton Federation cities were constructed. As of January 2022, no official decision has been made by the Griton Federation on this issue.
