Tractor severely damaged in fire at farm
A TRACTOR was badly damaged by fire on Sunday evening.
Crews from the Tadley, Basingstoke and Fleet fire stations were called out at 11.22pm to reports of a agricultural fire involving a tractor at a farm in Little Knowl Hill, Ashford Hill.
The fire was stopped using one hose reel jet and one main jet but the tractor suffered 80 per cent fire damage.
Crews also had to use equipment to absorb oil and diesel which had leaked from the tractor and risked the fire spreading.
The firefighters were stood down at 12.38am.
