The state of the fire when ROWNIE noticed it

On the 19th of March, 2025, a great fire had ignited just outside of 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 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 (MIA) to reveal the true facts of the incident, and to remove blame from any persons who were falsely accused.

Timeline of Events

All times are in UTC. All coordinates are in the Overworld.

  • 2025-03-19 18:22:26 | The fire ignites at (111, 69, 537). It begins to spread to nearby blocks.
  • 2025-03-19 18:26:42 | The King of Great Britan, ROWNIE, notices the fire on Ye Olde Weaponry Shoppe and on the path to the Royal Botanic Garden. He notifies Lord Kiamond Beckett (also known as Mars), the Chief in Command of the East India Trading Company, and the director of the MIA.
  • 2025-03-19 18:27:18 | The fire spreads 424 blocks in total. Luckily, the primary material that the fire spread to was grass, so each individual flame did not last very long.
  • 2025-03-19 18:33:21 | ROWNIE completely extinguishes the fire. The fire was taken to be an act of terrorism by Stereo against Great Britan.
  • 2025-03-19 21:53:00 | Stereo denies any involvement in the incident.
  • 2025-03-19 21:59:04 | The MIA begins its own investigation of the incident.
  • 2025-03-19 22:06:33 | Great Britan prepares to go to war against Stereo for his crimes against the Crown in Iceveil, which were confirmed by the MIA as a part of this investigation. The decision to retaliate is stalled until the MIA's investigation in London is completed.
  • 2025-03-19 22:06:33 | The MIA determines that the fire was caused by natural circumstances. No player was responsible for causing the fire. Forensic evidence revealed that a thunderstorm had caused lightning to strike a tree between the local shop and the Royal Garden, which led to the events described here.

Conclusion

The fire was deemed to be a naturally occurring accident. Measures were taken place to avoid this type of incident in the future.
