Fire crews have shared a video showing them tackling a baler on fire in a field near Salisbury.
At half past 10 on Monday morning (August 15) the fire service was called with a report of a hay baler on fire in a field in Sixpenny Handley.
Fire crews from Verwood and Blandford were mobilised.
When they arrived on the scene they found the baler well alight.
The fire had started inside the machine.
The baler was totally destroyed but firefighters did manage to save the field by moving the vehicle to avoid the flames spreading.
