I've personally seen some fairly large equipment burn, mostly from Hydraulic fluid spraying when lines burst. If I'm not mistaken the world's largest stripping shovel (Marion 6360) burned for that reason. Also have seen fires started on Draglines by weld sparks getting into concentrations of Open Gear Lube, such as around the swing racks and inside tubs. Most big Draglines have a pretty serious fire protection system installed.
