    @Garnet Holman God Bless you, i'm glad you're safe. Spontaneous combustion is no joke. Lost one of the world's largest free-standing wooden structures at Tillamook in the 90's. They stored hay in there. Was a WWII Blimp Hangar. The orange glow of the fire on the coast - could be seen from Portland. A hay truck caused a wildfire near Shasta Lake, I believe in 2020...because the winds across the high bridge hit the truck. All it takes is a little moisture inside the baled hay - and boom. I think the only way to really prevent it is thermal imaging security cams. Ones that would call firefighters automatically. I hope that becomes less expensive one day.

    Grew up on a farm not that dissimilar from this one. Even though my Dad retired for the most part from farming he still did custom operator stuff from time to time. A few years back something happened to the 200 amp underground feeder for the barn and 1 of the legs in the panel went out. Dad called an electrician to come out and look into the issue. Electrician fixed the issue and within about 2 hours the whole barn was on fire. Dad had alot of equipment in the barn (tractors,hay equipment etc). Melted steel parts on most of it. No idea what the root cause ended up being. All the electrical enclosures were destroyed.
