episode_narrativeSmith County has been classified as being under a Severe Drought (D2-status) through much of August and this continued into September. Much of the county was like a tender box from the lack of precipitation and as a result...a fire quickly burned out of control during the afternoon and late evening of September 8th east of Tyler, Texas.
event_narrativeDrought stricken areas east of Tyler, Texas, triple digit afternoon temperatures and gusty winds helped to ignite a fire that began as pieces of a hot tire were thrown off a vehicle and landed in an area of dry grass and pine straw along Farm to Market 2767 near the Jackson Heights area. Those initial flares then spread quickly due to the wind. Volunteer Fire Departments began evacuating up to 60 homes shortly after the noon hour on September 8th as the fire quickly spread. By the time the fire was contained, it burned up 405 acres of grassland and timberland. The fire also consumed 2 homes along with multiple outdoor structures including barns and sheds as well as multiple vehicles.
