Shortly before 4 p.m. Hamilton Township Fire Department were called to Sully Road north of County Road 9 for a field fire that started from a tractor/hay baler that caught fire.

The wind caused the fire to spread extremely fast and Port Hope Fire Department along with Alnwick/Haldimand Township Fire Department were called for assistance.
