The Woonsocket Fire Department was called out to a tractor and baler fire in a hayfield on 397th Avenue north of Woonsocket Monday afternoon. The equipment and field is owned by Amick, Inc.
Firemen were called to the fire around 3 p.m. Temps in the upper 80s and high humidity made the task that much more uncomfortable for the responders. The tractor and baler were both a total loss, but the fire was kept from spreading.
