episode_narrativeA controlled burn escaped and evolved into a large wildfire in northern Bailey County during the afternoon hours of the 7th. Farmers attempted to burn corn stubble in a field five miles southwest of Muleshoe. Such agricultural burns are common over corn-growing regions of the west Texas South Plains and the Texas Panhandle during the fall season.||Weather conditions during the afternoon of the 7th were characterized by abnormally warm temperatures (fifteen degrees above seasonal averages) and breezy southwesterly winds. As relative humidity values dropped to below ten percent and wind speeds became sustained between 15 mph and 20 mph, the fire jumped a county road and grew uncontrollably through CRP grassland around 14:00 CST. The fire scorched 1,288 acres of grasslands in less than three hours. No damages or injuries were reported.
