A tractor pulling a slasher was destroyed in a blaze which spread to nearby grassland at Haly Creek on Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Emergency services were called to the incident on Stuart Valley Drive \/ Ellesmere Road\u00a0 just after 3:05pm.<\/p>\n

Reports suggest the Council slasher had just finished slashing a roadside verge when the fire broke out.<\/p>\n

The vehicle was engulfed in fire when fire crews arrived.<\/p>\n

They quickly extinguished the flames and brought the grass fire under control.<\/p>\n

A QFD spokesperson said it was an electrical fault but firefighters remained on site while contractors worked on the issue.<\/p>\n

No one was injured in the incident.<\/p>\n
