HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — The Houston Fire Department has said it will continue to monitor a controlled burn near the Addicks Reservoir that broke out on Sunday afternoon.
The fire is being contained near I-10 and Eldridge Parkway, just south of the Bear Creek Park.
Officials said it started out as an unexpected grass fire and will continue to burn off what they said is years’ worth of debris in the field.
HFD said, after its initial review of the blaze and weather conditions, the department chose to let it burn in a controlled manner.
On Monday morning, ABC13’s SkyEye flew over the area, where fog blanketed the flames.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manages the property and has coordinated with the Texas A&M Forestry Service, which can assist with the controlled burn, Houston fire officials said.
Officials reported no injuries or deaths and said they will continue to monitor air quality.
