 On June 14, 2022, Texas A&M Forest Service (TAMFS) was requested for assistance for a wildfire located in Roberts County approximately 15 miles SSE of Spearman just south of county road 281 in steep canyon topography which caused access issues for firefighters. Initially, the fire had started on the night of June 12, from a lightning strike. Miami Volunteer Fire Dept. and Perryton Fire Department were on scene. With consistently windy days, the fire had continued to jump containment. Upon arrival on June 14, TAMFS had worked in unified command with Miami Volunteer Fire Dept. Heavy equipment and engines were utilized on both flanks. The fire had spread rapidly through the canyon bottom, but forward progression was stopped at FM 281. No structures were lost or threatened and fire crews continue to monitor the fire and mop up any areas were hot spots (concentrated areas of heat) are found close to containment lines.
