episode_narrativeA small wildfire spread rapidly in eastern Starr County during the afternoon of March 22nd, possibly aided by unregulated fire practices. The fire grew rapidly but did not threaten property.
event_narrativeA wildfire, started at a ranch containing dense, dry brush, quickly exploded to more than 1,000 acres shortly after noon on March 22nd. Surface winds from nearby locations were light and variable during the onset and rapid growth phase, but relative humidity was estimated to have fallen to 10 to 15 percent. Light March rainfall combined with several drying cold fronts may have contributed to relatively quick drying of open grassland with the increasing sun angle.||Fire departments from San Isidro, San Manuel, Edinburg, Pharr, Palmview, Rio Grande City, and Texas Parks and Wildlife all assisted in fighting the fire, with the aid of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
