Question:

What are those big containers, usually nears farms called?

They're huge containers with little things inside. Notorious for catching on fire. I seriously forgot what they were. They're usually in rural areas.

Answer:

Grain elevator, maybe. They have dust explosions occasionally.
Can be a rice dryer or a corn silo.
A grain dryer is all that I can think of that can catch on fire. Silos are tall skinny things that hold silage (typically corn). Grain bins are typically much wider and maybe not as tall as a silo. They hold grain. They can explode but typically don't catch on fire.
Do you mean silos that hold silage?
