Orphaned references in Tinder Fire

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Tinder Fire's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "azc5":

From Rattlesnake Fire (2018): McCrory, Chris (April 22, 2018). "Rattlesnake Fire: Good weather allows firefighters to make 'excellent progress'". The Arizona Republic. Retrieved January 12, 2023.
From Goodwin Fire: Bowling, Joshua (June 29, 2017). "Goodwin Fire: Evacuees return, fire 43 percent contained, State Route 69 expected to reopen". The Arizona Republic. Retrieved December 29, 2022.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 12:10, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
