Helping Farmers Prevent Harvest Fires
Special 2025 pricing on commercial-grade fire extinguishers and related services is available to Michigan Farm Bureau members through a partnership between Summit Fire Protection and the Farm Bureau Insurance Agricultural Division.
Purchasing an extinguisher is only the first step in fire safety — ongoing inspection, testing, and maintenance are critical to ensuring compliance and performance when seconds matter.
Why Safety Matters
Harvest season brings an increased risk of equipment and field fires. Having the right type of fire extinguisher, placed in the right location, can make a critical difference in how quickly a small incident is contained.
Farm fire safety tips:
- Keep at least one properly sized extinguisher on every combine, grain cart, and fuel area.
- Mount extinguishers where they’re clearly visible and easy to access.
- Check gauges regularly and replace or service units as needed.
- Train family members and employees on the PASS method (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep).
Proactive fire prevention is an important part of protecting your investment, your operation, and the safety of everyone working on your farm.
