NACOGDOCHES – A fire in western Nacogdoches County has forced the evacuation of the Upshaw community. The fire started in Cherokee County, but jumped a river and headed into Nacogdoches County. Several fire departments along with the Texas Forest Service are fighting the flames. By late Monday afternoon the fire had grown to 300 acres and, because of the gusty winds, was still growing.
