[QUOTE="hoardac, post: 130349, member: 3118"] Run all sorts of them for years in a wood dust environment, the only time they caught fire was when the lazy people never cleaned them out. I seen a few hydraulic leaks that smoked pretty good but never caught fire. Keep the engine bay clean, fix any leaks in a timely manner and clean up excess grease you should be good. We keep a little fire extinguisher in the back window area. I have 3 extinguishers strategically around the yard also, it is frozen here 1/2 the year or more and the garden hoses are out of service. Battery disconnect as others have mentioned is a good idea. [/QUOTE]
