Event Summary
During the severe Drought of 2005-06, wildfire became the greatest weather-related threat for months on end. Several fire outbreaks in late December 2005 burned more than 200,000 acres, with a seasonal total easily passing 500,000 acres. After nearly two months of elevated to extreme fire danger and several fires, conditions worsened with the approach of a dry cold front on February 28th and March 1st. Several very large fire complexes in Stephens and Lincoln Counties burned for several days.
