I am not sure exactly what your answer may be but i was a firefighter for
many years. Seems to me you could have a fairly simple system something
like a large water tank with a pump and a larger than a garden hose
(several places around the facility if you are a large place) to hit a
fire quickly if it breaks out. You could use this water system every once
in a while to wet down a dry spot in a pile or windrow to keep it tested.


If you are rural waiting on a fire dept to arrive sometimes costs a lot
of money. If you saved a piece of equipment once in 30 years it might pay
for your set up costs many times over.  Also wash down can be done
quickly with your system.

Good fire extiquishers are invaluble as well.
