There have been numerous reports of bugs in the "Original Saga" (3-disc) version, but as I don't have that version, I've never really paid attention to what those bugs were. Regardless, it sounds like the likely culprit is that the .ARE file for the map area is corrupted. If you're lucky, it got corrupted during the install, in which case an uninstall & reinstall might fix it. But if the disc itself is corrupted, you're just plain out of luck.

Questions:
How old are the discs?
Where the heck did you get the name "Fireleaf Forest?" The only two forests even mentioned in the game are the Cloakwood and the Wood of Sharp Teeth.

Directions:
1) Do a full install.
2) Go to BioWare.com, find, download, and install the official patch for your version of the game.
3) Google the word "BaldurDash" and download & install the BaldurDash patch for your version of the game. [ADD:] The name "mrkevvy" comes to mind as part of BaldurDash's URL.
