The Ponteix Fire Department is crediting local farmers and neighbours for their swift action in controlling a combine fire on Sunday. According to a social media post on Wednesday, crews were called out to a combine fire on Wednesday. When they arrived, the blaze was largely under control, thanks to the quick response by local farmers. Crews with the Ponteix Fire Department assisted with keeping the fire contained and monitoring the area to ensure it didn’t spread. The post also recognized “Pat and his Pro-Till” for helping create a fire break to contain the fire’s spread. “We are incredibly fortunate to have neighbours who don’t hesitate to step up when someone needs a hand,” the post read.
