FIREFIGHTERS used around 3200 litres of water to put out a tractor that was ’well alight’ when they arrived on the scene.

The crew from Saltash were called to a farm at Blunts earlier this week.

One fire engine was initially dispatched, but another appliance followed to assist with the water supply on the request of crew who first arrived.

Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used two hose reel jets to extinguish the fire.
