Combine Fires
Grain combine fires are responsible for millions of dollars of loss each year. Fires usually start near the engine where dust and dry crop debris accumulate. From 1984 to 2000, 695 major grain combine fires were reported to local fire departments. Dragging chains to reduce static electricity was one method of preventing harvester fires.

Famous quotes containing the words combine and/or fires:
“All the powers of imagination combine in hypochondria.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“When a thought of Plato becomes a thought to me,—when a truth that fired the soul of Pindar fires mine, time is no more. When I feel that we two meet in a perception, that our two souls are tinged with the same hue, and do as it were run into one, why should I measure degrees of latitude, why should I count Egyptian years?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
