[AT] yes, it may catch on fire.

[charliehill]

Some farmer friends of mine, right down the road a couple of miles, lost a 
large open shed, a Gleaner combine, 2 tractors, some relatively expensive 
equipment and a few hundred bales of wheat straw to a spontaneous combustion 
fire when the straw "took heat" and caught fire.  The fire house is 2 miles 
away and another station is about 3 miles the other way.  They couldn't put 
it out before everything was a total loss.
