A large fire has engulfed a tractor and chopper in a Dorset village
Three fire crews attended the fire near Grove Hill in Osmington shortly after 3pm today (Wednesday, November 1).
Upon arrival, crews from Weymouth, Portland and Dorchester found a tractor and chopper unit alight.
A chopper is a farm implement that harvests forage plants to make silage.
The fire was extinguished using two hose reel jets and the stop message, meaning the incident is under control and no further resources are required, came in at 4:21pm.
A spokesperson for Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service (DWFRS) said: “We received a call just after 3pm today with reports of a large vehicle fire near Grove Hill, Osmington.
“Crews from Weymouth, Portland and Dorchester were mobilised and on arrival found a tractor and chopper unit alight. The fire was extinguished using two hose reel jets and the stop came in at 4:21pm.”
