Newton County fire forces evacuations

Posted 3:25 PM CST:  The Newton County Sheriff's Office is advising residents who live in the path of a large fire between Aspen and Beech near Highway 59 to evacuate immediately.

This location is a few miles south of the Interstate 44 and 59 junction south of Carthage.

Authorities tell us the fire is related to one earlier in the week and several area fire departments are working to get the fire under control.
