episode_narrativeA human caused fire turned into a large wildfire during several days of strong winds. Very dry conditions were present prior to the wildfire due to a lack of precipitation in the preceding weeks.
event_narrativeThe Trigo Wildfire began on the west slopes of the Manzano Mountains and was initially spread by southwest wind gusts to 35 mph. The fire reached Osha Peak during the evening of April 16th. On the 20th, the fire spread rapidly northeast due to 40 mph winds. It entered flatter terrain on the east side of the Manzanos, and by April 21st, 3750 acres were burned including nine homes, nine outbuildings and two recreational vehicles. The 4800 acre fire was 95 percent contained by April 29th, but was fanned by strong southwest winds of 40 to 50 mph on the 30th, forcing the evacuation of Sufi and Apple Mountain Campgrounds and the Sherwood Forest subdivision, west of Torreon. Over 50 additional homes and one communications tower were damaged or destroyed, mainly in the Sherwood Forest area as the fire grew to more than 11,000 acres. The fire continued to be uncontained into the month of May.
