Tractor Fire
On Wednesday, May 24, at approximately 1500 hours, the Miller Fire Department was paged to a tractor fire. The location was 22 miles from Miller. I didn't hold out much hope for the tractor. We responded with two engines, two brush trucks, and a suburban.
The South Hand Fire Department was also paged. They responded with an engine and a brush truck.
The first unit to arrive was our brush truck F7. The tractor had a small amount of smoke showing, but no major damage. The brush truck was able to extinguish the fire without any trouble. Surprisingly, the tractor wasn't damaged too badly. A few repairs and it should be ready to go.

All units were back in service at the Miller fire hall by 1630 hours.
