Severe fire weather continues as drought and winds grips area

A wildfire, unfortunately started by fencebuilders, resulted in a quickly moving dangerous test to our local and area firefighters last week. The fire started about 5 miles out by 377 N on the old Charles Sweeten Ranch. This portion of the divide ranch is next to the access to the Devil’s Sinkhole State Natural Area. The fire was named the Devil’s Sinkhole Fire, but it did not burn any of the Natural Area. The gusty winds swept the fire over HWY 377 into the Glasscock Ranch and begin moving northwest at a high rate of speed.
