2. Thanks Jane
yes it is, the harvest is in full swing and this silo is pretty big. It just burst into flames around 6 o'clock last night so I grabbed my camera and braved the police lines.

5. We had a local one burn a few years ago...
investigation said a static electricity spark ignited the dust in the
silo as an off-load was going on.

7. had dinner
with a farmer tonight and he said a spark in a fan caused it. He said it was about 2/3s full of wheat. That's a hugh loss for the farmers using that silo.

8. They're good and I do hope your local paper decides to use
them. You might be one of the few who got good shots of that fire. Good luck.
