Street firefighters help put out tractor blaze in Chilton Polden

Firefighters from Street helped put out a tractor on fire in Chilton Polden yesterday afternoon (July 29).

Just after 12.30pm yesterday, Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue control received calls to a tractor on fire in Chilton Drove.

Fire control sent two fire engines from Bridgwater, one fire engine from Street and one water bowser from Yeovil.

Once the crew got in attendance the officer in charge confirmed one tractor well alight in a field. The crew got to work to extinguish the fire with the use of two hose reel jets and two breathing apparatus.

The crews made the area safe and the cause of this fire is believed to be accidental.
