Ever seen a silo? It would be nice to get water on top.

I've seen a silo. Do those things catch fire a lot? 

If you're going to have to rebuild it anyway I'm not sure I see the point in getting water onto it via drone.

Yeah I've heard of the explosions. 

Just out of pure curiosity - have you been on a lot of advanced fire blowing out of the top silo fires?
