An unfortunate reminder that equipment and machinery maintenance is of utmost importance and can still not always prevent these devastating events. Glad to read everyone is safe and the spread of fire to standing crop was prevented.
Napoleon Volunteer Fire Department - Napoleon, IN
October 9 at 5:03 PM ·
Around 1 PM this afternoon, Napoleon firefighters were called to the area of county roads 300W and 1050N for a combine fire in a soybean field. Firefighters arrived to find the machine already too involved to be saved, so they initially focused on keeping the fire from spreading into the standing crop and adjacent wooded areas. There were fortunately no injuries, but the machine was considered a total loss.
Preventative maintenance and proper housekeeping are very important for all who are operating harvesting equipment this time of year. Unfortunately, good efforts on the part of this owner to do this were still not enough to keep a fire from occurring.
If you find even a small fire in a machine, be sure to call the fire department immediately to ensure you have plenty of resources to fight any spread of fire within the machine or to the adjacent areas.
Fires may be more common than you think. On this National
Fire Prevention Week, we would like to thank all the firefighters for their bravery & service.
Does your family know what to do in case of a fire? Be sure with this fire safety checklist.
Taking sensible precautions in the home and teaching your
child how to escape from a fire can help your family avoid disaster.
