Jefferson Fire officials say a skid steer that was left beside a driveway in rural Texico was destroyed by fire after heat from the skid steer started a wheat stubble field on fire.
The fire was on the Nathan Yoder property on North Stratford Lane.
Fire officials say a water hose had been stretched to reach the fire that had started in the wheat field, but wasn’t long enough to reach the skid steer that received heavy damage before firefighters arrived.
The fire call came in around ten Monday morning.
