slpwlker Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Damn they get carried away. As long as we never broke into the pile it could smolder for a long time.

other dog Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 yup, mulch, chips, or hay if it's put up wet, gives off a tremendous amount of heat. It'll burn a barn down. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

thomastractorsvc Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 speaking of hay, when I used to put up square bales as a kid inside we would salt between each layer to prevent heating and spontaneous combustion, also help with milk production because the cows drank more in the winter supposedly. 1 Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

j hancock Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Got Smores!I've got a friend who is on the local VFD and about 10 years ago they had three fires pretty close together and all burn down hard. He was telling me about them and it was a combination of bad access, lack of hydrants or water sources and structure that were old and very dry.He said that the should be renamed "Cellar Hole Savers".

2stacksuperdog Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 This was the chiefs plan to bring in a excavator and dozer to knock it down. We had a big fire last year that was a brush fire and he used the same method. Took a couple weeks to put that one out this one was out within a hour or 2 1 Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31994-had-a-little-fire-today/#findComment-195027 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 We have a local "Microtel" here and it burnt up last summer. The story I got was all the mulch they put around the building was the cause.
