Saturday morning at approximately 6:30am OCESD 3 received a call of a fire off West Bluff Road at the railroad tracks. Firefighters found a large stack of old rail road ties on fire. Chief Matt Manshack said they put approximately 20,000 gallons of water on the fire and it continued to smolder throughout the day.
The fire is believed to be deliberately set and there was damage to the railroad tracks.
OCESD 3 was also called to a fire on the side of IP Way off Hwy. 87 Saturday. The small fire got out of hand quickly because of the dry conditions. Citizens are reminded that a burn ban is still in place for Orange County.
