event_narrativeFire began when an old controlled burn site rekindled in mid afternoon. Brisk northeast winds, brought on by a vigorous and very dry arctic front passing southwestward across the area, fanned the flames west and southwestward. Behind the front, extremely dry air resulted in humidities approaching as low as 10%. Recent spruce bark beetle killed trees resulted in plenty of fuel for the fire. Damage was confined to open areas.
