0 u/adambuck66 IA Volunteer FF 12d ago Ever seen a silo? It would be nice to get water on top. 2 u/SanJOahu84 12d ago 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. 0 u/adambuck66 IA Volunteer FF 12d ago They catch fire from time to time, they explode from time to time also. Trying to save some of the feed and ending the fire early would be nice. They can burn for day's or more depending on the size. https://oneidacountyny.gov/assets/FireCoordinator/Docs/ImportantInfoAndMutualAid/ImportantInfo/USFireAdminHazrdsOfSiloFires.pdf https://www.porttechnology.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Mike_Bradley-PTI66-4.pdf https://local21news.com/news/local/dozens-of-crews-on-scene-of-silo-fire-in-lancaster-county-dispatchers-confirm 2 u/SanJOahu84 12d ago 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?
