elevator fire 2002.jpg 

 Don't panic!

This is not an out of control fire but a controlled burn of the old grain elevator in Harrisburg a couple summers ago.  It was one of the biggest deals to hit the Garden Spot of Lincoln County in many years.  It turned into a major fire fighting exercise for the region's fire fighters.  Plus, it was really cool to watch.   I kept yelling "fire, fire, huh, huh, fire" like Beavis and Butthead.
