>>Perhaps the initial references were to large quantities of baled wool.<<

<working with this idea> Hmm, but the baled wool isn't wet, so heat isn't being 
produced by wet wool that is drying. Oh. Wait. I suppose the wool can get wet, 
if it sweats. I wonder how much that would contribute to a wool fire?

Off topic a bit: we've had spontaneous combustion fires in our area, in the 
last 5 years. One was at a mushroom farm. While I think mushrooms taste 
wonderful, what they're grown in smells horrid when it's on fire.

The local dump: <duh> I completely forgot that spontaneous combustion is always 
a potential threat at a city dump site.

Yes, we got caught in the middle of both fires. It took a few days for both 
fires to be controlled.
