Altona/Rhineland Emergency Services responded to a baler fire Monday afternoon.

Fifteen members of the fire department landed on scene along Highway 201 near Road 11 W, where a baler sitting in a ditch had caught fire due to a mechanical breakdown within the machine, says fire Chief Greg Zimmerman.

"We just proceeded to extinguish it. Fortunately for us, the farmer had disengaged his tractor and moved it away from the burning baler. It was only the baler that was involved," Zimmerman said.

There were no injuries.
