Overview
- The blaze ignited at about 8:37 a.m. Sunday as the tractor towed a feed trailer toward a nearby barn in Struppen.
- The 40-year-old driver escaped uninjured after jumping from the cab and calling emergency services.
- Flames broke out roughly 200 meters before a stall housing about 500 young cattle, which were never in danger.
- Around 40 firefighters from several local brigades fought the fire for approximately four hours, and the smoke was noticeable in Pirna.
- The 1999 tractor and its trailer are total losses, and roads near the Naundorf junction were closed for several hours during the response.
