JASPER COUNTY, Texas — Multiple fire departments have contained a fire in Jasper County.
The fire began off of FM 1004 near the Newton County line.
Jasper County Judge Mark Allen tells 12News someone set a fire on their property and the fire spread to someone else's property.
That other person had tires in their yard, causing the fire to grow rapidly.
The Texas Forest Service, Kirbyville Fire Department and Trout Creek Fire Department were on scene.
Allen says the fire is contained, but will most likely smolder for days.
