A tractor fire on the morning of Sunday, May 19 undoubtedly made a farmer’s long weekend much worse, though reports suggest there were no injuries. Heavy smoke could be seen billowing into the sky beginning around 11am. The fire occurred in a field off of Nation Valley Road, but smoke could easily be seen from the field behind the Chesterville Arena, and beyond.
It is not clear what caused the fire, but crews from the Chesterville Fire Station responded quickly and got the blaze under control.
