The Rock House Fire remains the largest grassland fire in Texas history. On Saturday, April 9, 2011, it began its rampage across Far West Texas, affecting many residents.

Today during the Spring Membership Drive for Marfa Public Radio, we revisit some of our initial reporting from 2011 and reflect on the past 5 years.
