episode_narrativeExtraordinarily dry conditions combined with winds gusting to 25 to 30 mph to produce conditions ideal for fire spread. A brush fire in Brimfield moved into an area of blown down debris from the June 1, 2011 tornado and became difficult to control. In addition, a thunderstorm blew through the area while firefighters were attempting to control the blaze. For their safety, firefighters were called off the fire until the storm passed. The fire eventually burned about 50 acres.
