episode_narrativeElevated fire weather conditions persisted for most of the month due to the extreme heat and the ongoing historic drought. Many wildfires occurred during the month burning over 40,000 acres of land, several homes, and lots of personal property. From the 16th through the 20th, there were 11 grass fires that caused damage. Two large fires were started on the Fort Hood Military Base artillery training area. A grass fire in Hunt County burned a junkyard for boats and tires, and other fires burned homes in Dallas and Tarrant counties.
event_narrativeThe Penial Fire burned in the northwest side of Greenville, inside an area contained by US 69 to the west, Dell St to the north, Reese St to the east, and Lee Street to the south. The fire started on the afternoon of the 18th and was controlled on the afternoon of the 21st. It burned a total of 250 acres including 2 large barns, 2 small outbuildings, and 3 cars. This fire was one of about a dozen grass fires that occurred in the Greenville area on this afternoon. All the other grass fires burned smaller acreage, but a few storage sheds were burned in the other fires.
