Tractor, spreader burned near Minlaton

MINLATON and Curramulka CFS crews were called to a tractor and spreader fire about 15 kilometres north of Minlaton just after 1pm on Friday, June 19.

Minlaton CFS captain Stewart Germaine said the tractor operator was uninjured and able to safely exit before the vehicle was engulfed in flames.

“The operator then tried to extinguish the blaze with his farm firefighting unit before crews arrived, but was unsuccessful,” Mr Germaine said.
