"We attended to look after the HAZMAT side of the crash," he said.

"It was a lucky escape for the pilot. We had some wires down so that added complexity so we couldn't get too close until the electricity has been isolated.

"It had leaking fuel, so they have cleaned that up. Pretty great outcome for the pilot."

A NSW Police spokesperson confirmed it was a crop duster and that police were headed to the scene.
