A tractor was destroyed in a fire near Yeovil last night.
Fire crews were called at just before 9pm to reports of a tractor, trailer and mound of silage on fire in Halstock.
Three fire crews were sent from Yeovil, Beaminster and Sherborne. Wearing breathing apparatus, they used hose reel jets, drag forks, a fognail branch and a thermal imaging camera.

They used around 6,000 litres of water but the tractor could not be saved - it was completely destroyed - but the trailer and silage were only partly damaged.
