Spontaneous Coal Heating Linked to Dust and Air
The report states fires from spontaneous combustion affect many cases. It notes small coal piles usually fail to heat enough to ignite, while finely crushed coal with dust promotes self heating. Large lumps and air access speed the process, and external heat like storage boilers or drying piles can trigger spontaneous combustion.
Means of Prevention in coal handling cited by Iowa circular
An Iowa Experiment Station circular argues prevention centers on avoiding external heat and keeping coal piles 12 feet deep and 18 to 20 feet wide. No interior ventilation, minimal handling to reduce dust, and temporary storage to season coal. Separately, a High School Sophomore reception for Freshmen at Woodman hall featured playful mischief and a mock Bolshevik raid that ended without incident.
