Some way to stop a fire before it gets big should be part of the tools you carry on a machine. Have a couple of 2 1/2 gallon jugs of water somewhere on the combine where you can get to them. A pump garden sprayer full of water is another idea. Keep a chemical fire extinguisher too. That way you have two methods to fight the fire. The water douses the flame and cools down the hot bearing or whatever. The chemical extinguisher gets the fuel, oil, hoses, belts. A dry extinguisher blows hot embers around. Water puts them out. A carbon dioxide extinguisher doesn't harm circuit boards. Dry powder does. Even a dirt shovel can do a little good. Been around a few combine fires on the harvest and we never lost a machine. Hoses, belts, wiring and one $5000 computerized circuit board have had to be replaced but we never had a machine down for more than a day because of fire. It's always scary and does get the old heart a thumpin.
