I have witnessed Trash burning Fire emitting as much Smoke as that.

They dont make the Press Headlines.

Reminds me of the neighbours 20 year old Mazda firing up every morning.

Even the Soi dogs move away.

It would be extremely interesting to know  how a fire started in such a silo !

In pellet form  and inside a  silo  it would take more  than a cigarette butt to ignite them !

Maybe an electric motor burnout on a feed  auger but that would be an extreme  chance.

At least they had it out within an hour. That's good.
