POTSDAM -- A hay baler caught fire in a field behind 1844 House on U.S. Highway 11 on Oct. 25, according to Potsdam fire officials.
The blaze was reported at 12:39 p.m. with Potsdam Fire, Potsdam Rescue, and County Car 10 dispatched to the scene for a reported hay baler on fire extending to the surrounding field.
West Potsdam Fire was also dispatched to the scene as it lies on the border of the two response districts.
Fire personnel were on scene within minutes and began attempts to quell the blaze.
Firefighters stretched two 1 3/4" hose lines off Engine 80 and extinguished the fire quickly, officials said.
Members reportedly sprayed down the field where the baler was sitting to ensure the fire did not spread in the dry grass. The baler was pulled apart and the fire completely extinguished.
Potsdam Fire was in service at 1:41 p.m.
The cause of the fire was not released.
