Machinery Fire in Agriculture and its Impact on the Environment

Fires in agriculture are spreading rapidly (the rate of propagation depends on meteorological conditions), with large areas being hit and potentially threatening nearby buildings, equipment and stacks. Fires are difficult to access (limited load carrying capacity and throughput for mobile firefighting equipment) and can be extended to forest stands. There is often a lack of water to extinguish at the site of the fire, with water sources generally located at great distances. A part of the paper is also a description of the situation before the fire and ascertaining the causes of the fire. At the end of the article there is mentioned fire protection of machines with proposed protection of agricultural machines.
