We show that extreme and nonextreme Reissner–Nordstrom black holes in five dimensions can be described by closed fundamental strings with two charges in a magnetic five-brane. Due to the five-brane background, the string oscillator number and tension are rescaled whereas the mass remains fixed. The black hole mass is given by the sum of the five-brane and string masses. Its entropy however is given by only that of the string with the tension rescaling taken into account. We also show that the emission of a low energy scalar from the slightly nonextreme string matches the Hawking radiation expected from the black hole.
