Three major fires are burning just outside the Houston area right now, bringing traffic on some roads to a crawl. <br></div><div><br></div><div>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. </div><div> 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. </div><div> 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. </div><div> 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. </div><div>
"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. </div><div> Horses have been removed to be kept out of harms way as well. No injuries have been reported. </div><div> Fire officials are still investigating what sparked this massive fire. </div><div>
