Fire Rages Though Wheat Field, Combine Damaged

July 1, 2013

Fire raged though a Walnut Hill wheat field this afternoon, and a John Deere combine was damaged.

The combine, still smoking when the first fire truck arrive on scene, was removed from the field and did not appear to be heavily damaged.  The wheat field fire on Lemon Road off South Highway 99 consumed about 10 acres.

There were no injuries reported.

The Walnut Hill and Molino stations of Escambia Fire Rescue responded to the blaze. The Florida Division of Forestry was also dispatched to the fire but canceled.

    I hope this man has another source of income, like another field maybe! Fire is sad. Hopefully, this man will be okay until the next crop. Do they have some kind of affordable insurance for farmers?

    >>Are those brush trucks stuck? they look like they are!

    No. The pictures were shot with a long lens from across the field which just makes it look that way.
