Fire Still Burning at Whiskey Warehouse
From Times Wire Reports
The smell of burning whiskey lingered in the air as the remnants of a fire that destroyed a warehouse that had held 800,000 gallons of Jim Beam bourbon continued to burn in Bardstown.
The fire was contained, but was expected to burn until at least Thursday. “There’s a lot of lumber in there,” Fire Chief Anthony Mattingly said.
The company said Tuesday that “all initial indications suggest” the fire was caused by lightning. Thunderstorms swept through the area Monday.
