episode_narrativeCritical Fire Weather Conditions occurred on April 25 across much of West Central Texas as a dryline brought southwest to west winds of 20 to 25 mph, relative humidity levels below 20 percent, and temperatures in the 90s. Isolated thunderstorms ignited a large wildfire in Kimble County on April 26. A few of these fires continued through the end of April.
event_narrativeThe Scott Ranch Fire located 13 miles west-northwest of Mertzon burned approximately 11,233 acres. The fire was started when a chain swinging from a truck created sparks as it bounced on the road surface on a Scott Ranch road. Eight homes were threatened and saved. Oil and gas infrastructure were also threatened. Several utility poles were destroyed by the fire resulted in some power outages. Farm to Market Road 2469 was closed for a time but reopened. Winds blew so hard during the Scott Ranch fire that the fire crew had to retreat from one ranch at Ketchum Road, but they returned to that ranch once the winds died down and the visibility improved. Many utility poles were on fire at the base, while the rest of the pole leaned toward the road, held back by the tension of the lines. Fire had burned the bottoms of some entirely, leaving the remainder of the pole suspended in the air.
