The Dauphin Fire Department responded to a grass and tractor fire on Monday afternoon.
At around 3:45 p.m., the DFD responded to the scene about 7 miles southwest of Dauphin.
Officials say the owner of the property had been performing a controlled burn of the long grass in a ditch, but the tractor rolled due to uneven ground and became involved in the fire.
The owner was able to escape injury.
Crews extinguished the fire and returned to the station within the hour.
There are no estimates on damages at this time.
Message from the DFD:
"At this time of year, many residents of the rural municipality are cleaning up long grass and burning crop residue. We would like to remind the public that burning permits are required from the RM of Dauphin year-round, and are available free of charge from the RM Office."
