MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- A person suffered a minor burn injury Monday when a large fire erupted at a south Montgomery County residential compound.

Officials with the South Montgomery County Fire Department said four structures, including a home, in the 2100 block of Old Ox Road were burned during the incident.

According to the fire department, the fire appeared to have sparked by fumes from an unknown solvent that got close to an area where metal was being grinded.

An investigation is ongoing.
