No trailers or structures caught fire this morning and no injuries were reported.
The hot and humid temperatures in the Quinte region have caused a few bush and farming equipment fires over the past few days.
According to Scan Quinte, a hay baler in a field caught fire at 2546 Crookston Rd., on Friday. Meanwhile, Prince Edward County firefighters responded to multiple spots along County Road 3 between Rossmore and Rednersville for multiple grass fires in the ditch, which were later deemed under control.
