Fire Destroys Newton Home

A fire destroyed a Newton home and killed two pets on Saturday. Firefighters said they think the fire started after Gloria Pugh cleaned out her chimney and dumped the ashes outside. A spokesman says the wind caught the ashes and blew them underneath the front porch. The high-speed wind Saturday made the fire spread incredibly fast. by the time crews arrived, all they could do was pour water on the house from outside and watch it burn.
