GRAIN ELEVATOR, THAT IS.  IN LYONS, SOUTH DAKOTA, THE ROSENBAUER AMERICA fire truck builder is expanding its facilities.  An unused grain elevator was standing on their property and on Tuesday evening they brought in 15 nearby fire departments for a massive drill while they burned down the huge structure.

The Lyons elevator was built more than 60 years ago to replace one that had burned down on the same site.  When Rosenbauer decided to remove the structure, they brought in nearly every FD in the county along with 100 or so volunteer firefighters to get their water drill.  Rosenbauer also used it to test some apparatus designs at the same time.
