Spencermountain - could I provide some suggestions on the fire schema for your base?
Could I suggest adding the 'Disaster' type from skud's Disaster base as an included type? This would ensure that everytime a topic was typed as a fire, it would also be typed as a disaster.
For the 'Buildings Destroyed' property - I think it would be better if the property was named 'Total Number of Buildings Destroyed' which explains clearly that a number is required.
However, I think a couple more properties could be added:
Firstly wildfires don't necessarily destroy buildings, but instead spread over vast areas - could we have a 'Total Area Burnt' which accepts a kilometre squared value?
Also I think it would be good if we could have a 'Notable Structures Burnt' which would allow the buildings/structures burnt to be listed? This would be a property value of 'structure' type from the Architecture Commons.

The disaster type now includes a 'Notable structures damaged' property, so the 'Notable Destroyed Structures' property on your 'Fire' type is now redundant, and can be removed.
Same goes for the 'Notable Surviving Structures' property on your 'Fire' type.

Not fast - just on GMT+4 time!
Good work for noticing that these properties belonged in the disaster type. I didn't spot that.
