Firefighters with the Orange County Emergency Services District Number One spent Friday battling five fires.  The fires were first reported around 3:30 p.m. Friday.

Captain Jerry Aldridge says it took his men about half an hour to find the fires burning in a heavily wooded area between FM 1131 and Interstate 10, near the Rose City sand pits.

Firefighters say the fires burned 45 to 50 acres.

The Texas Forest Service assisted with bulldozers to cut a containment line around the fire.

No injuries were reported.
