The St. Margarethen fire department had to respond to a tractor fire on Tuesday - and were in for a surprise. 

Police officers had already extinguished the fire with a hand-held fire extinguisher. Nevertheless, the tractor had caused an oil spill over a distance of around 500 meters, which had to be cleaned up. The fire department was in action for almost two hours.
