Topic	Jim Beam warehouses filled with 45K barrels of bourbon catch fire in Kentucky
Scorsese2002 07/03/19 11:12:21 AM #1:	https://www.wlky.com/article/jim-beam-warehouse-filled-with-45k-barrels-of-bourbon-catches-fire/28275574 VERSAILLES, Ky. (AP) Firefighters in Kentucky are trying to extinguish a burning Jim Beam warehouse filled with about 45,000 barrels of bourbon. Woodford County Emergency Management Director Drew Chandler tells WKYT-TV that two barrel warehouses caught fire around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday. Crews were able to put one out, but the other kept burning for hours. Chandler says it may have been caused by lightning. A nearby road has been shut down as crews fight the blaze. WLKY was told the warehouse would likely be on fire for "quite some time," and Chandler estimates firefighters will be working at the scene late into Wednesday night. According to Beam Suntory, which owns Jim Beam, said the whiskey lost was relatively young, so the fire will not impact the availability of Jim Beam for customers. "We are thankful that no one was injured in this incident, and we are grateful to the courageous firefighters from multiple jurisdictions who brought the fire under control and prevented it from spreading," an official Beam Suntory statement said. A business is bringing sand to control runoff into Glenns Creek. . . . --- https://www.twitch.tv/dtake86 <cite>Scorsese2002 posted [p:924188505] in Jim Beam w...
