Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeConditions were favorable for wildfire spread in the days following the July 4th holiday thanks to hot temperatures, low relative humidity and breezy conditions behind the sea breeze each afternoon. These moderate to strong easterly winds behind the sea breeze allowed for rapid wildfire spread in a short amount of time each evening and two fires rapidly spread: The Deer Wildfire in Kenedy County on July 6th and the Blanket Wildfire in Brooks County on July 9th.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeThe event known as the Blanket Wildfire was estimated to have initiated around 2:41PM CDT on July 9th about 12 miles northwest of Encino, Texas. It burned until 9:13PM CDT on July 14th when it was announced to be 100 percent contained. This wildfire consumed a total of 5900 acres. A Spot Request by the Texas A&M Forest Service on July 9th and the GOES-16 Visible satellite channel were used as a guide for the ignition time and rapid spread that followed.
