episode_narrativeStrong westerly winds sustained at speeds near 30 mph to 35 mph, record high temperatures, and relative humidity values less than 10% contributed to critical fire weather on the South Plains on the 15th. ||A wildfire quickly grew from an ignition source along U.S. Highway 70 west of Earth (Lamb County) around 11:15 CST. The fire jumped the four-lane U.S. Highway and then ran through grasslands. At least seven structures were threatened and saved. The fire burned 1,600 acres before it was finally contained around 15:00 CST.||At 15:10 CST a fire ignited along Texas Highway 207 just north of Floydada. The fire burned through wooden utility poles and downed power lines before scorching more than 2,600 acres of grassland.||Although an estimated 4,200 acres burned, no injuries or serious damages were reported. Texas Forest Service and Department of Public Safety investigations revealed that both fires began from incidental sources along major routes, possibly from discarded cigarettes.
