Baled wool is skirted first. That would give the wool time to dry out. I don't 
know about it being able to grab enough water from the air, to get wet enough 
to spontaneously combust.

I find the idea of baled wool catching on fire, to be interesting. For a brief 
time we debated the idea of building a home, using baled straw. I was 
reluctant, because I see straw as being a flammable material. Easily flammable, 
I should say.

So I went to several firemen, and asked them about using baled straw and about 
what I thought might be a fire danger. I was told that the straw is baled so 
tightly, that there's no air to encourage spontaneous combustion or a fire. 

I've seen wool bales. Those suckers are baled as tight, perhaps even tighter, 
than a bale of straw or hay. I don't seen any way air could get in there, to 
ignite a fire.
