It's an awful thing to see, worse when livestock can't get out. In '95 I watched my long time friends machine sheds and dairy barn burn to the ground, on Fathers day, while the family was out together. The heat from it was unimaginable, there was a prevailing wind and they could do nothing to prevent the dairy barn from going up, it was over 100 feet away. The heat made it spontaneously combust. From my house the black smoke plume from the fuel tanks that burned looked like an airplane crashed. I have some photos of it taken from my back steps. Their farm was 1/2 mile or so away. He told me it was set, had something to do with the new Walmart's going in next to him that was another farm. I've never seen fire destroy something completely so quickly and there was nothing that could be done, you just can't fight a fire like this. 3 concrete stave silos heated up so much that they starting venting gases, eventually it lit up like a Bic lighter ! To add to it, the town absolutely refused to let him have a benefit party to help with the recovery, and they were even harder on him when he tried to develop a piece for self storage. The whole thing reeked of corruption or something, that administration was beyond disgraceful.
