Two oil wells were threatened and saved. No injuries were reported. Zapata County FD and Zapata County SO Deputies responded. The fire was contained. (RLO 6). At Zapata County Airport in Medina, humidity fell below 30 percent, southeast winds gusted to 22 mph, and the high temperature reached 99 degrees - all ingredients which combined with already severe drought conditions to create an ideal situation for rapid wildfire growth.
