I'm a fairly light RP'er and haven't done much lately, but this feels like a really uncomfortable subject. Like others have hinted/already said, it's almost like you'll be forcing certain events onto everyone's character implicitly. Yes, you are giving everyone a heads up, but not everyone who RP's comes to these forums or reads it regularly enough.
There'd be some real conflicts between characters who are aware and who aren't. I can just see a conversation where someone's talking to me about this great fire and how things were destroyed, people screaming. And I'm like, what? Was I under some rock? Who's in the right? It sounds like it'd be huge news that almost everyone should know.
My suggestion would be to make it on a smaller scale or a very isolated area with overall less significance to the public but may something that has significant meaning to your FC.
