A wild fire, started by unknown causes, destroyed four buildings at the Moore Air Force Base (a former operating facility during World War II currently used for aerial pest control operations) near Alton, TX, during the early afternoon of January 19th.  Gusty winds, very low humidity, dry ground, and warm temperatures helped the fire grow explosively from its onset, eventually spreading into grassland and rangeland before jumping across Farm-to-Market (FM) 681 and threatening more than 100 residences in the area.
