HUNTSVILLE, TX (KTRK) --  Three major fires are burning just outside the Houston area right now,  bringing traffic on some roads to a crawl. 


There's one in Polk and Trinity counties and a second one in 
Plantersville. The third one is burning in the Huntsville area. That 
fire has the potential to cause problems on I-45 today like it did 
yesterday. 
It doesn't appear that we'll get any smoke in our immediate area, but if you're driving north along I-45 toward Dallas 
you may notice it. 
So far the fire in Walker County has spread to 3,000 acres and according to forest officials, at least 15 percent 
of it has been contained. 
It was so bad Sunday that I-45 was 
shut down in both directions for several hours between Huntsville and 
Madisonville.   In addition to stranding drivers, homeowners were 
inconvenienced. The fire forced about five dozen families out of their 
homes so far, according to the emergency management coordinator. 
"We had to evacuate about 450 homes and judge did a mandatory 
evacuation and most of those people either went to a shelter that we 
opened up or staying with friends or relatives," said Butch Davis with 
the Walker County Sheriff's Office. 
Horses have been removed to be kept out of harms way as well.  No injuries have been reported. 
Fire officials are still investigating what sparked this massive fire. 
We are gathering more information and will update you on Eyewitness 
News and abc13.com as additional details become available.

>SPRING, Texas (AP) - Residents are being allowed back into 200 homes in a north Houston suburb after they were evacuated because of a nearby 
wildfire. Firefighter crews and two air tankers were dispatched to the 
fire near the Breckenridge Forest subdivision. Harris County Fire
