| episode_narrative | A weak front brought dry air and gusty winds across the Rio Grande Valley during the afternoon of January 19th, 2009. Temperatures, aided by downsloping, northwest winds, rose into the mid and upper 80s, while humidity plummeted to between 10 and 15 percent. Accompanied by 20 foot northwest winds of 15 to 20 mph with gusts to 25 mph, the threat for rapid to explosive wild fire growth was realized at the Moorefield Air Base west of Edinburg.||The following day, relatively mild temperatures, humidity nearing 15 percent, and occasionally gusty north winds maintained a considerable threat for rapid growth of any wild fires, which was realized in eastern Starr County near Rincon. |
| event_narrative | A wild fire, known as the Bentsen Fire, developed during the mid afternoon of the 20th and quickly spread to 1280 acres near Rincon, TX, destroying a hay baler but otherwise wiping out grasslands before being contained and controlled by US Fish and Wildlife personnel and local fire departments during the evening. |
