Crews from Tiverton and Danes Castle attended a tractor on fire on farmland near Templeton. Crews extinguished the fire using two hose reel jets and a thermal imaging camera to check for hotspots. While crews tackled the fire the farmer removed bales of silage that were close by so that the incident didn't escalate. The cause of the fire was accidental.
