Here’s how a fire extinguisher helps on farming equipment:

Why extinguishers matter on farm machinery
• Most equipment fires start small
Electrical shorts, overheated bearings, hydraulic oil leaks, or crop debris on hot exhaust parts usually ignite as a small fire first.
• Fast response is everything
A fire extinguisher lets you attack it in the first seconds—before fuel, oil, or crop residue feeds it.
• Saves equipment, crops, and barns
Combines, tractors, balers, and skid steers are expensive—and fires often spread to fields or buildings.

FIRE SAFETY ON THE FARM
Fire Extinguishers Protect Lives, Livestock & Livelihoods
Why Farms Are High Risk
Farms face increased fire risk due to machinery heat, fuel storage, dust, welding, and long emergency
response times. Small fires can grow out of control in seconds.
Common Farm Fire Hazards
1 Tractors, combines, and heavy equipment
2 Welding, grinding, and repair work
3 Electrical panels, motors, and heaters
4 Hay, grain dust, bedding, and feed storage
5 Fuel, oils, and chemicals
6 Barns, shops, and livestock buildings
Why Fire Extinguishers Matter
1 Stop fires before they spread
2 Protect livestock, workers, and family
3 Reduce property damage and downtime
4 Help meet insurance and fire code expectations
5 Provide immediate response when fire crews are far away
Recommended Extinguishers for Farms
5-lb ABC: Offices, service trucks, small areas
10-lb ABC: Barns, shops, equipment sheds
ABC extinguishers are effective on wood, fuel, and electrical fires — the most common farm fire hazards.
Inspections Save Lives
Fire extinguishers must be inspected annually to ensure they are charged, accessible, and ready to work. An
extinguisher that fails during an emergency offers no protection.
