The Baffin Fire, in the northeaster quarter of the county, ignited on March 20th around 3:00 PM CDT and continued until March 21st when it was 100% contained. The fire consumed a total of 4,800 acres. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | The event known as the Baffin Wildfire was estimated to have initiated around 3:00 PM CDT just south of Sarita, TX near Highway 77 and burned until the early morning hours on the 21st, when it was announced to be 100% contained by 8:00 AM CDT. This wildfire consumed a total of 4,800 acres. A Spot Request submitted by the Texas A&M Fire Service on March 20th was used as a guide for the earlier ignition and the very rapid spread that followed. |
