Wildfire in Oldham, Texas

Although we had elevated Fire Weather conditions on March 15th, the winds were still consistently in the 20 to 30 mph range through the afternoon. And with the fuels still critically dry across the Panhandles it wouldn't be hard for a wildfire to spark and be hard to control. While it's unknown how the fire started, we ended up getting the Neon Beige Fire in Oldham County. This fire would go on to burn about 1688 acres. The fire caused US highway 385 to be closed from Tascosa to Vega due to heavy smoke . While the Neon Beige fire's cause was unknown, it did have some impacts like closing HWY 385 from Vega to Tascosa for a period of time, and it managed to burn 1688 acres.
