episode_narrativeThe Kinishba Fire was started by a lightning strike about 15 miles northeast of Cedar Creek in Gila County. The fire spread into Navajo County the next day. Fuels were extremely dry in ponderosa, pinyon/juniper, oak, chaparral, and short grass. Rates of spread were initially estimated at one mile per hour and driven by erratic winds. Fire spreads on 7/13, 7/14, and 7/15 were dominated by dry thunderstorm outflows. Increasing moisture and rain slowed fire behavior greatly by 7/20. Last of burnout operations was completed on 7/21...then thunderstorms dumped between 0.50 and 0.70 of an inch of rain (88D estimated) on the fire that evening. Final size was 24,300 acres.About 200 people were evacuated from the western portion of Whiteriver on 7/14 as a precautionary measure. They were allowed to return to their homes on 7/21.
