Bastrop County Complex fire
The Bastrop County Complex fire was the most destructive wildfire in Texas history, striking areas of Bastrop County in September and October 2011. Three separate fires started on September 4, 2011, as a result of strong winds caused by nearby Tropical Storm Lee, and merged into one large blaze that burned east of the city of Bastrop. Two people were killed by the fire, which destroyed 1,673 homes and inflicted an estimated $325 million of insured property damage.〔〔〔("Texas fire destroys 1,673 homes, 17 people missing" ). Associated Press via ''Seattle Times''. September 11, 2011. Retrieved July 6, 2013〕 The fire furthermore caused severe damage to Bastrop State Park and the ancient Lost Pines Forest.〔 After being largely contained in late September, the fire was declared controlled on October 10. The fire moved underground later in October and was finally extinguished on October 29.〔(Bastrop fire. ) Inciweb.org. October 15, 2011. Retrieved October 23, 2011.〕〔(KVUE.com ).

==Background==
(詳細はdrought since the 1950s, received the lowest single-year rainfall since 1895, and experienced the hottest June–August period of any U.S. state at any point in time on record – exceeding that of even the Dust Bowl of the 1930s.
Circumstances were further exacerbated by Tropical Storm Lee, which produced strong winds over the Labor Day weekend, creating ideal conditions for wildfires to spread. Between September 4 and September 6, reports indicated that 63 new fires were started.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.statesman.com/news/texas/wind-driven-fires-kill-woman-child-in-east-1819712.html )〕 On September 6, the Texas Forest Service released a statement, describing the fire's behavior as "unprecedented" and stating that "no one on the face of this Earth has ever fought fires in these extreme conditions".
