[[File:{{#setmainimage:March 2025 fire of London.png}}|thumb|The state of the fire when ROWNIE noticed it]]
On the 19th of March, 2025, a great fire had ignited just outside of [[London|London's]] shoreline. The fire had damaged a local shop and the trail leading to the [[Royal Botanic Garden]]. The fire was initially believed to have been a deliberate act of arson by [[Stereo|SiliconAudit]] (also known as Stereo) due to the event coinciding with the [[March 2025 Bombing of Iceveil]], but this was later disproven.

An independent investigation was conducted by the [[Mars Intelligence Agency|Mars Intelligence Agency (MIA)]] to reveal the true facts of the incident, and to remove blame from any persons who were falsely accused.
