At 930am Sunday morning Plum Grove Fire Department was dispatched to a large woods fire just about one mile south of Saturdays fire. What was initially thought to be an extension of Saturdays fire was not the case. The hunting club which was in the area for many years and was the site of the extensive search for Dennis Rogers who vanished in March of 2012. In 2012 rescuers were met with heavy wooded conditions and extremely swampy ground.

Today firefighters were met with sugar sand and dust making it almost impossible to see driving don a road. Also very heavy fire in the same woods which are now sectioned off.

With the wind and heavy fire conditions Cleveland, New Caney, Splendora, Huffman and Crosby assisted fighting the blaze as did Texas Forest Service. The fire was brought under control just before 5 pm.
