Combine harvester on fire! Fire department comes

My combine lit on fire while cutting wheat in Prescott Washington while at work. This was the 3rd and final fire I had during the 2023 harvest when working for James Farms. It was stressful and if I missed any editing of words out, I apologize. There was an original video but it did not show nearly any of what happened.
Check out my most popular side hill combine video.

Thanks Trevor, scary stuff, it was good when the nervous looks turned to smiles! May this never happen again!

[@TrevorStruthers]

I hope so too. Yeah you could tell when we were feeling better about the situation for sure.

Mount a tank on your grain cart. There always in the field and can get to you quickly

[@samellis4054]

Damn trevor this is very impressive and nice safe man! Also could you let us know what failed once you find out? As a farmer I like knowing this stuff thanks for the great content

[@TrevorStruthers]

It was actually a toothed gear that a chain goes onto on the header. A sprocket was misaligned which caused the chain to strike on the metal of the header which caused sparks which lit the feederhouse on fire.

Mount a tank on your grain cart. There always with the combines and mobile

[@TrevorStruthers]

We all do have at least one grain cart with a water tank and pump now.

did the bearings on the center pusher belt lock up tight that is where the fires are.

Just curious, why do your extinguishers have water instead of foam?

[@TrevorStruthers]

They can be used and refilled is one reason. Another is that most fires we have arent chemical fires. There is a small red one in each cab usually as well.

[@joelg8004]

@@TrevorStruthers that’s makes sense! Thanks Trevor! Great content as always!

Is 3 fires in one harvest normal?

[@TrevorStruthers]

No, not usually. One a year maybe per crew is about standard. Varied outcomes on the fires. Sometimes the whole machine is lost.
