episode_narrativeCritical fire weather persisted throughout the daytime hours during a prolonged period from the 14th through the 17th, when at least four significant wildfires occurred across the South Plains region of west Texas. ||High winds and dry conditions allowed a fire to spread quickly from Texas Highway 114 north of Wolfforth around 15:35 CST on the 14th. Farm to Market Road 179 was closed temporarily due to the fire and blinding smoke. Flames damaged a home before it was extinguished.||A wildfire started southwest of Morton (Cochran County) around 12:30 CST on the 16th. The fire charred 5,000 acres of grassland before it was finally brought under control just around 18:00 CST.||Another fire on the 16th burned about 300 acres and threatened three homes near Farm to Market Road 2378 just east of the Hockley and Lubbock County line during the 15:00 CST hour.||A wildfire also ignited near Texas Highway 214 just north of Plains (Yoakum County) around 13:15 CST on the 17th.
