Engine 50, Tender 50 and Tender 51 responded to a tractor and

short distance from the scene. Tender 51’s operator had a line stretched and water
on the fire when Engine 50 arrived and joined the attack. Knockdown was achieved
within minutes and extensive overhaul began, including an inspection of the baler
to remove the remaining hay and ensure the fire extension had been stopped.
The tractor was a total loss and while there is damage to the
baler, it was significantly less due to the quick attack by Tender 51, backed up
by Engine 50 and Tender 50 who responded from the main station in Newton.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation and is under the
direction of Cache County Fire with assistance from the State Fire Marshall’s

Vehicle Fire Endangering Structure
Saturday, January 20,
2018 at 6:05 PM:
Engine 50 and Tender 50 were dispatched to a county address just west of Newton for a vehicle fire. While fire units were en-route additional information was received at Dispatch indicating the vehicle was a tractor inside a shed. The call was modified to a Working Structure Fire and additional engines from the surrounding communities were dispatched.
Engine 50 arrived to find the tractor was fully involved with extension to the structure. With this updated information a Tender Task Force was requested as this location is not served by hydrants.
Engine 50's crew was able to control the fire and with conditions improving all
units that had not arrived were cancelled. Firefighters from Clarkston had arrived, helping to secure a water supply connection to Tender 50 as well as joining in mop-up. When the work of overhaul and a preliminary investigation were complete all units returned to quarters.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation but appears to be accidental.
