[TheForge] Spontanious Combustion

[Toni Smith]

Wet coal with heat applied can spontaneously combust. Somehow the addition
of moisture makes it more likely. Don't understand the exact reason for this
but it is the same with wet cotton modules (the huge bales that farmers make
to send to the cotton gin).

There was a fire yesterday at a local factory in it's coal bin.  The report
said that they clamed it was spontanious combustion.  As I recall this
subject came up earlier this year when one of the guys was looking at
storing coal in his shop.  And it seemed to be the consensus of the group
that coal would not spontaniously combust.  Is my memory wrong or are they
trying to blow smoke up our a** to cover up the real cause of the fire.\?
