Spontaneous Combustion In Composting: Prevention & Extinguishing: Precursor conditions for spontaneous combustion fires are more likely found in storage piles of unprocessed feedstocks, curing piles and product storage piles. Detecting SC Fires SC fires are smoldering fires that usually start deep within a compost or storage pile and may go undetected for a while. These precursor conditions are more likely found in storage piles of unprocessed feedstocks, curing piles and product storage piles -- all less likely to be closely monitored than active composting piles and which rely more on passive aeration than forced aeration.
