Spontaneous combustion and hay fires
CLINTON - Lives have been lost
and hay crops destroyed because of
fires caused by spontaneous com-
bustion. When the weather doesn't
co-operate many farmers try to
store hay before it is properly
cured. If the hay crop is put into the
mow above 20-25% moisture con-
tent, spontaneous combustion may
occur.
A hay crop that is placed too wet
into a mow will rapidly heat. If the
mow is so large that heat loss is re-
stricted, the internal temperature
will rise. As the temperature rises
above 130 degrees F (55°C), a
chemical reaction occurs and may
sustain itself. This reaction does not
require oxygen, but the flammable
gases produced are at a temperature
above their ignition point. These
gases will ignite when they come in
contact with oxygen.
Chock your hay regularly. If you
detect a slight caramel odor or a
distinct musty smell, chances arc
your hay is heating.
What do you do? First of all,
make yourself a simple probe that
can be inserted into the hay mass to
check the temperature. A probe can
be made from a 10 foot piece of
electrical tubing. Rivet a hardwood

pointed dowel to one end and drill
six IR inch diameter; holes in the
tube just above the dowel. Drive
the probe into the hay mass and
lower a candy thermometer on a
long string into the probe. The ther-
mometer should be left for 10 min-
utes to ensure an accurate reading.
Watch for the following tempera-
tures:
150 degrees F (65°C) •• Enter-
ing the danger zone. Check temper-
ature daily.
160 degrees F (71°C) "Danger!
Measure teatpe ature every four
hours and inspect mow.
175 degrees F (80°C) •e Call the
fire department. Wet hay down and
remove from barn.
185 degrees F (85°C) "Hot
spots and pockets may be expected.
Flames will likely develop when
heating hay comes in contact with
oxygen.
212 degrees F (100°C) " Criti-
cal! Temperature rise is rapid
above this point. Hay will almost
certainly ignite.
CAUTION: Before entering the
mow, place long planks on top of
the hay. Do not attempt to walk on
the hay mass itself. Pockets may
have already burned out under the
hay surface. Always tie a rope
around your waist and have a sec-
ond person on the other end in a
safe location to pull you out
should the surface of the hay col-
lapse into a fire pocket. •
Extreme caution should be taken
when fighting a hay fire if hay has
been treated with chemical preser-
vatives. Hay treated with preserva-
tives containing ethoxyquin and
BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene)
will produce hydrogen cyanide gas
at around 240 degrees F (115° C).
This gas is very deadly. Additives
containing primarily propionic
acid do not produce hydrogen cya-
nide during a fire.
Many fanners sprinkle salt on
hay as it is stored. in an effort to
prevent hay fires. However, tests
have shown that salt has no effect
on controlling spontaneous com-
bustion. Dry ice, liquid nitrogen or
carbon dioxide gas pumped into
the hay will help prevent combus-
tion by eliminating the oxygen
from the hay mass.
Spontaneous combustion is not
an accident. By following good
storage practices, not only will
spontaneous combustion be avoid-
ed, but a higher quality of hay will
be obtained.
