The largest brush and tire fire in a decade has drawn crews from six Montgomery County fire departments and the Texas Forest Service to about 20 acres of land in the New Caney area.
The Courier of Montgomery County reports that the New Caney Fire Department arrived at the scene about 3:30 p.m. Saturday in the 48000 block of FM 1485. Firefighters contained the blaze late Saturday night, but expected it to continue burning Sunday.
“The area was filled with ravines and sand with holes of eight to 10 feet deep,” New Caney Assistant Fire Chief Josh Smith told The Courier. “There are thousands of tires. The owners were saying that they were going to start a go-cart track.”
Firefighters from Needham, Huffman, Porter, River Plantation, Splendora and New Caney got water from the San Jacinto River because no fire hydrants were in the area, The Courier reported.

Other than that....
