Stupid post. Learn some chemistry you idiot!

We have a very interesting class of "oxygen free" fires around here.
They are called cotton module fires.

These burn from the inside out in total absence of oxygen or air.
Through a low grade exothermic pyrolysis process.

Heat breaks the well insulated cottonseed oil down into lesser
components with the release of oxygen. Oxygen burns the components and
raises the heat, which...

The process takes many hours but can easily cause thousands of dollars
in damages.

Don, where I was raised in the rural part of New Jersey (yes, there is
a rural part), spontaneous combustion of hay was a frequently claimed
cause of barn fire. (I say "frequently claimed" because of its obvious
suggestion.)

Back then, the common believe among the volunteer firemen (yes South
Jersey at that time had entirely volunteer fire departments) was that
the way to fiight the smouldering in the hay, was to saturate it with
gasoline. That was done many times, and of course many hay barns were
reduced to embers.

Have you, given your experience, have ever encountered this practice,
and is it simply another urban legend or is it real?

Why I ask is simply that my dad was the "Foreman" of the local hook
and ladder volunteer fiire department, and while I respected my dad
and his contributions to our community, I came to later wonder about
the wisdom of squirting gasoline on smoldering hay. (Just to
illustrate my dad, who I loved dearly, was the Chief Air Raid Warden
in our small town during WWII, and our basement held an inert but very
real 250-lb bomb, which was carted out and methodically defused during
air raid excercises which, later in life, made me begin to wonder!!!!
Even at the age of 12, I had to wonder why a bomb of that size would
be simply sitting on the road, after being dropped from say 10,000
feet. Then too, today I would blame it on government training.

Don, just curious, have you ever heard of the use of gasoline on hay
smolders? Does it make sense?

Does not sound at all reasonable to me.

If there were anything at all to it, diesel or kerosine would be an infinitely better choice. Owing to ridiculously higher flash points.

Low grade fires are among the hardest to extinquish.

Bat Guano in particular.

Also coal mines.
