A total aside, but when I worked in Grand Prairie, Alberta there was a lumber mill in the center of town that, at any given time, stored about 5 million board feet of dimensional lumber. They had a rotation schedule for moving it in and out they were bound to. One year when they fell behind and the stack had been sitting untouched for about a month, it ignited in the center due to composting. Burned for over a week, made for quite a show having firefighting aircraft dumping in basically the center of town.
All they did was wet surrounding areas to deter spread, according to the fire fighters they had to let it burn down, no way to actually extinguish it wherein it would not just immediately re light.
