episode_narrativeVery breezy conditions, warm temperatures and low humidity values were the ingredients needed for the rapid spread of a wildfire in Bowie County, Texas near the town of Dekalb. The fire was reportedly started by the use of a cutting torch near a heavily wooded area near Hwy. 259 and C.R. 2735. Strong winds caused the fire to spread rapidly with near 1000 acres of timberland and grassland consumed. Ten separate fire departments were called in to battle the blaze. There were reports of injuries to Texas Forest Service personnel who were burned while battling the fire.
