If you've ever watched one of these balers work, you'll see them surrounded by a cloud of dirt and chaff. That chaff is combustible and the interior of the baler is full of the same stuff. A stray spark from a rock, a chaffed wire, a hot bearing, etc can set it off. A lot of people never clean them out after use so they are put up dirty and hot and you can get conditions where they cook off.

As stated bad brgs are the main cause for rd baler fires. I can testify that they can burn easily and quickly as I lost a different colored baler to fire. I seen all brands of rd balers burnt. 2 important things to have are a water fire extinguisher with some dish soap in the water and comprehensive insurance.
