Well boys and ladies. What'd you do today?

Here's how my day went.

Ada, MN: Huge Fire Engulfs Elevator - Valley News Live - KVLY/KXJB - Fargo/Grand Forks


The top part of the elevator started on fire and engulfed the whole thing within minutes. Now it being a small town there was not adequate equipment. 9 fire departments battled the blaze for hours. Now its 2:17 am and its still going. As I'm on my tablet right now its hard for me to throw p some pics. But later I will.
 
what was stored in the elevator that would burn that hard and fast ?

Grain. And it was about 150+ years old. So she was ready to go I guess. But with grain there's this fine dust(about as bad as rolling in insulation) highly flammable.

edit: pictures.
