True, the Childress fire may have failed in comparrison in size, but a 40000 acre fire with 50+ mph winds is just as bad as the big one. I worked that fire and looked like the gates of hell opened up. Fortunately, our dept, with mutual aid was able to contain ours around midnite of same day, and we had canyons and ravines to deal with also. Hats off to everyone involved with all the fires, notably named, " The Day the Panhandle Burned".

I only mention 2 fires, because the Borger fire burned 479,549 acres and the I-40 fire burned 427,696 acres. There was also a 40,000 acre fire near Childress, but it kinda fails in comparison with the other 2.

It actually burned closer to 900,000 acres of farm and ranch land!! This was national news too!! The main thing that killed all the efforts was the wind!! The wind kept feeding the fire!!!

The wind was ridiculous this day. I wish I would have turn the camera more NE, the smoke was going almost completely horizontal. The winds were nearly 30 mph sustained and were gusting over 50, typical panhandle day if you ask me. The fire started just SE of Borger from some snapped powerlines (if i remember correctly), thats why it was called the Borger fire even though it did not threaten the Borger city limits. This video is from about 3 or so miles east of Borger.
