Tocumwal’s Rural Fire Service brigade was called to two separate incidents in the past week.

Two units from the brigade attended a small grass fire on the corner of Silo Rd and the Newell Highway last Thursday, about 3.55pm.

It is believed to have started while a tractor was travelling at the roadside.

The tractor was not damaged, and the driver remained on site to speak with emergency services.

The brigade was also called to a small machinery fire on Martins Rd, Myrtle Park at 2pm on Monday.

Support was provided to Tocumwal by Mid Murray RFS brigades.

The fire was quickly controlled.
