| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | On May 2, 2021, a wildfire named the Salt Creek Fire began to burn near Shiprock, New Mexico. The cause of the fire is unknown, but continued dry, windy, and very warm conditions across the area led to critical fire weather conditions in the days leading up to the fire start. Within 24 hours, the fire spread quickly and grew to about 120 acres. It burned one structure and threatened several outbuildings. The fire prompted mandatory evacuations in Shiprock and forced the closure of Mesa Farm Road. By late day May 3rd, the fire grew to 422 acres, but was 60% contained. Evacuations were lifted, and Mesa Farm Road was reopened. |
