Firefighters in northern Newton County were busy on Friday evening dealing with a large woods fire. Captain Melanie Smith of the Newton Fire Department said it was reported at about 7:00 off of Private Road 5006 in the Jamestown Community. Captain Smith said due to the size and location of the blaze, they called in assistance from the Texas A&M Forest Service and they had to use four bulldozers to get a line plowed around the blaze. According to Smith, five hunting camps were destroyed and approximately 200 acres were scorched by the blaze. Smith said the fire was contained shortly before midnight, but firefighters checked hot-spots throughout the night and into Saturday morning.
