| episode_narrative | The combination of abnormal dryness, dry fine and medium fuels, a near flash drought day that preceded it, and near critical humidity with gusty east winds aided the development of wildfire on the Santa Ana NWR along the Rio Grande in southern Hidalgo County. The fire was ignited by torching - embers that floated across the Rio Grande from a nearby sugar burn in northern Tamaulipas, Mexico. |
| event_narrative | Local emergency management, fire departments, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service reported a 300 acre wildfire developed rapidly during the afternoon of March 7th, when embers from a sugar cane burn in northern Tamaulipas, Mexico, just south of the Rio Grande drifted into the refuge and began the process of torching brush and grass. The wildfire, aided by dry fuels, gusty east winds, and near critical relative humidity levels, continued for nearly 48 hours before being 100 percent contained. The refuge was closed to public operations through the following weekend for safety precautions and continued clean-up activities. |
