Combine Fires: How They Start and the Smartest Way to Stop Them
Each fall, farmers face the same risk: combine fires
Between crop residue, hot engines, and long harvest hours, it only takes a spark to ignite a six-figure disaster. A combine worth $300,000 can go up in flames in less than five minutes — and when it does, downtime costs thousands more each day.
How Combine Fires Start
Most combine fires begin with a simple chain of events:
-
Crop dust and chaff buildup around the engine or exhaust.
-
Friction or hot bearings that reach ignition temperature.
-
Fuel or hydraulic leaks that feed the flames.
-
Dry weather and wind that spread the fire fast.
Add long days, tired crews, and minimal maintenance time — and you have the perfect recipe for a field fire.
Why Traditional Extinguishers Fail Farmers
Many farmers rely on dry-chemical extinguishers that come with their equipment
The problem? They’re built for office buildings, not combines.
-
They clog or lose pressure after sitting unused.
-
The corrosive powder destroys electronics and engines.
-
They’re single-use, leaving you helpless if the fire reignites.
-
They require regular service and recharging — something most farmers don’t have time for.
Even when they work, the cleanup often totals thousands of dollars in damage — corrosion in wiring, sensors, and hydraulics that void warranties and shorten machine life.
