| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A fire ignited about 6 miles northwest of Okaton in Jones County during the afternoon on March 29th. Critical fire weather conditions were in place across the region given the very low relative humidity and strong winds. Though the fire initially spread east-northeast due to westerly winds, a passing cold front shifted winds to the northwest and thus the fire's propagation to the southeast. A dramatic increase in winds with gusts to around 60 mph during this time led to the development of a large, wind-driven fire which eventually reached and passed over Interstate-90. The interstate was closed from 3 to 6 pm as a result. A total of around 9,500 acres of grassland were burned, per the Great Plains Fire Information Center. Over 100 customers lost power during the fire and high winds. |
