According to reports firefighters throughout Orange County were busy with several fires, some of which were unauthorized burns even though OC has been under a burn ban for over a month.
The biggest fire was in West Orange near the intersection of Irving Street and FM 1006 (Chemical Row). Some may also remember the former site of the DERA.
West Orange, Bridge City, Orange, and OCESD were called in as well as the Texas Forestry Service that brought in a bulldozer to get ahead of the fire that burned almost 10 acres. It took a couple of hours to get it under control. A cause has not been announced.
