The Scott Ranch Fire located 13 miles west-northwest of Mertzon burned approximately 11,233 acres. The fire was started on April 26, when a chain swinging from a truck created sparks as it bounced on the road surface on a Scott Ranch road. Eight homes were threatened and saved. Oil and gas infrastructure were also threatened. Several utility poles were destroyed by the fire resulted in some power outages.  Farm to Market Road 2469 was closed for a time but reopened. Winds blew so hard during the Scott Ranch fire that the fire crew had to retreat from one ranch at Ketchum Road, but they returned to that ranch once the winds died down and the visibility improved. Many utility poles were on fire at the base, while the rest of the pole leaned toward the road, held back by the tension of the lines. Fire had burned the bottoms of some entirely, leaving the remainder of the pole suspended in the air.
