A patch of woods just off County Road 4110, a couple of miles south of Turnertown... an area that had been burning in just the last few days, caught fire again.
They're calling it the Price fire.
Units from New London and Henderson were there when KETK arrived and the fire within just a few minutes went from a couple of acres, to over ten.
And it was moving fast.
And now, County Roads 41-10, 41-13 in Price have been closed.
Also FM 850 about 1.5 miles west of highway 42 in New London is closed as well.
Those living on County Roads 41-10-d and 41-13 and on County Road 487 must evacuate immediately.
The incident commander from Henderson said the blaze was likely started by old trees falling on power lines.
