Silo Fire

The same fire, this particular silo burned for many hours. it was part of a huge couple thousand acre fire. I had been shooting another spot fire about 100 yds away when this silo exploded at the top, less than 20 feet away. i got a little burnt, and the firefighters that came told me that the dust heats in the top of the silo until it actuall combusts. Not fun, but a good image.
