Here in West Texas our biggest concern is high winds and hi-lines. They can snap the lines or they come in contact with each other. Both send a shower of sparks below. Did a street view on that area and most of the buildings seem to be wood and asphalt roofing. Plenty of fuel and high winds can be devastating. Seen one fire move so fast the Texas Forest Service had to set up their line 4 miles in front just to get ahead of it.

The buildings were flammable, dry foliage outdoors, and 80+MPH wind from a hurricane south of the island, were YUGE factors.
