Bleach Burn Out

[DAP]

Was thinking that this fire may have been caused by loaded tires. Alcohol based additives to tire loading are flammable.

Most of the people on this board do not understand the joys of baling. You could have a great discussion about why you don't bale hay when it is wet and why so many barns burn down each year. I think in this pic the straw built up next to a belt or some moving part and the friction ignited the blaze.
One of my favorite scenes I wish I had my camera for was when I was driving down one of the back roads and there was one round bale smoking in the middle of the field, the next day it was completly engulfed in flames. Haying is a wonderful thing isn't it.

That's exactly why I'm afraid to store hay in my barn next year, once I start haying. As a newbie, there's a lot I can do wrong. My barn is 200 years old, and I don't want to burn it down, and probably kill some of my critters, too.

That is one of the reasons most of the farms around me are just building pavilions to store their hay under and hang tarps on the side to help protect the hay. I still see some people bale hay after a light rain and it makes you wonder. Good luck with you baling.
