Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeConditions were very favorable for wildfire spread again on April 2nd. Light to moderate east to southeast winds combined with cured ground fuels from several freezes in January and February and developing drought conditions allowed for rapid wildfire growth. Two fires started on April 2nd. The first was the Gun Smoke Wildfire, in the northwestern part of Starr County. The second was the San Ygnacio wildfire in west central Zapata County, about a mile south of the town of San Ygnacio.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeThe event known as the Gun Smoke Wildfire was estimated to have ignited around 6:00PM CDT on the western side North FM 649 in Starr County about 5 miles south of the Starr and Jim Hogg County line. It burned until later in the evening on April 2nd when it was announced to be 100 percent contained at 11:30PM CDT. This wildfire consumed a total of 425 acres. A Spot Request submitted by the Texas A&M Forest Service was used as a guide for the ignition time and spread that followed.
