arson or technical defect? Tractor burns and causes damage of 140,000 euros

A tractor burned on a field in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district has kept both the driver and the emergency services in suspense. The damage amounts to 140,000 euros, as the police reported. Fortunately, the tractor driver was able to get to safety in good time when the vehicle suddenly caught fire.

The incident occurred on Sunday evening near Zirchow when the farmer worked on the field. Suddenly a fire broke out that quickly spread to the tractor. The flames also spread to around 200 square meters of arable land before the fire brigade could intervene.

According to the first investigations, a technical defect caused the fire. Although the exact cause is examined even further, it is clear that the tractor is a total damage. However, it is gratifying that the driver remained unharmed and the fire did not attack further buildings or vehicles.

This incident illustrates the potential risks associated with the operation of agricultural vehicles. It is important to carry out regular checks and maintenance in order to avoid such accidents and to ensure the safety of people and the environment. We can only hope that such incidents will not repeat themselves in the future and that farmers can continue to do their important work.
