episode_narrativeStrong southwesterly winds promoted warm and dry weather and an ongoing drought to produce favorable conditions for wind-driven wildfires during the afternoon hours of the 5th. Sustained wind speeds between 35 and 40 mph with gusts near 50 mph downed a power line near an oil well pump jack, and sparked the spread of a grassland wildfire. Five area fire departments battled the blaze for nearly seven hours as it charred 2,000 acres and damaged some oil field equipment and utility poles and lines. No injuries were reported. Total damages were estimated near $100,000.
