Worcester News has contacted Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service for more details.
In a statement, Worcester Fire Station said: "This afternoon crews were mobilised to reports of a tractor fire, well alight in Wichenford.
"En route to the incident fire control mobilised a 3rd appliance due to the number of repeat calls being received.
"On our arrival 4 x BA wearers were deployed with hose reel jets to tackle the fire. The fire had also spread to the nearby vegetation. Using a thermal imaging camera we ensured all hot spots were cooled and dealt with.
"Thankfully no persons were injured.
"A big thank you to the local residents for supplying us with ice-cold refreshments and to the farming community for coming together to assist in road clearance."
