Half-million-dollar machine catches fire vgzas

"This fire was on my farm. So maybe I can help with some of what’s going on here. First, the fire extinguishers everybody seems to think we should be using are empty, we used them all just getting the combine into the fallow. There was a tractor and disc active on the fire, it burned very little farm ground. People have a hard time rationalizing what’s going on who have never been in a situation like this, but from the time the header caught fire to the point we unhooked it was less than 3 minutes. There wasn’t time for anything other than to save what we could, keep the crew safe and get out of the way. A lot of experience and fast thinking saved millions of dollars of harvest equipment this day. Save your opinions, I promise you don’t know what you're talking about."
