Fire Destroys Beam Ky. Bourbon Warehouse
By ELLEN R. STAPLETON, Associated Press Writer
BARDSTOWN, Ky. - Flames engulfed a seven-story bourbon warehouse Monday, sending alcohol-fueled flames more than 100 feet in the air.
The Jim Beam warehouse collapsed about two hours after the fire was reported at 3 p.m. and continued burning. The company said the metal-and-wood structure held about 19,000 barrels of bourbon, or less than 2 percent of its bourbon inventory.
