3 Simple Safety Measures:
Threshing fires will be practically eliminated if these three
simple precautions are taken :
E Use a water sprayer at the base of the blower—supplying
20 to 40 gallons of water per hour according to the dryness
of the» straw. This will keep down dust which increases
fire the moment it starts.
rL”l Prevent matches, either loose or in boxes, from passingI a. | through the machine. Boxes of matches have proved more
dangerous than loose matches. Insist tha,t none be carried
by anyone engaged. Obey the Fire Marshal’s order posted
On the .machine.
E Set the engine or tractor well away from straw or any
other readily combustible material. Prevent loads of
. sheaves from standing of passing near to the engine*^
exhaust.
^specially in wartime it is every farmer’s duty to prevent
threshing fires from starting. But if they ltd start, be ready
for them. Kedp a barrel of water near the blower—
another near the engine, A flame-proof blanket is an excel
lent thing to smother d fire the motnent it begins t but a coat
or a smock Will do, Bight by presenting fires.
