Watch for Sparks When Operating Farm Equipment

Checking for and fixing fire hazards will reduce the chance of starting a wildfire. Check equipment for:

• any build up of crop residue around the engine, exhaust system, belts and chains;
• damaged exhaust system components;
• worn or badly frayed drive belts;
• broken or exposed electrical wiring;
• the odor of burning electrical wiring;
• worn or mis-aligned moving parts, which can indicate the lack of lubricant; and
• signs of leaking fluids, oil and fuel.
