| episode_narrative | Lightning caused a wildfire on April 6th about 2.5 miles NE of the Eddy Tower in John Bethea State Forest. The fire grew rapidly over about 1 week to over 8,000 acres and a National Incident Management Team was deployed. The fire continue to grow through April and into May with several days of large growth driven in mid to late April by strong east coast sea breeze winds and a push to the west. In late April and into early May a prolonged period of dry WNW flow and above normal temperatures supported large fire growth. The fire burned out of the swamp in early May and made a run toward the town of St. George where evacuations were ordered. By mid-May, diurnally driven warm season convection started to increase with waves of rainfall bringing needed rainfall across the fire site. Daily rainfall continue through early June with periods locally heavy rainfall helping suppress active fire growth but hindering containment efforts due to heavy rainfall causing dangerous dirt/sand roads for heavy equipment. |
