Bruce, You gotta love those. The first time I ever saw a one was in a bicycle helmet factory in Auburn. The place was a housekeeping nightmare, lots of 2x material to hold the peanut baskets up. Real scary stuff. I'm surprised we don't see more of these types of fires. And a great comment on sprinklers beating this kind of fuel load up at the ceiling.
