A Jim Beam warehouse filled with 40,000 barrels of bourbon caught fire.
The warehouse where the fire started has collapsed. It held approximately 40,000 barrels of spirits. CNN reached out to Beam Suntory, the parent company of Jim Beam, for comment but has not received a response.
Woodford County Emergency Management chief Drew Chandler said the warehouses are massive -- about the same area as a football field and six or seven stories high.
Fortney said there was lightning in the area Tuesday night and it's possible that it could have sparked the flames. Chandler said the fire had been way too big and hot to get a fire investigator near it. Even as the sun rose Wednesday, the blaze was still roaring.

Re: Jim Beam fire
Was anything of value lost?
If you can't be a good example, you can still serve as a horrible warning.

Re: Jim Beam fire
The fire was a warehouse of young barrels early in the aging process (A year or less), so not a huge loss to JB. If they had been 5+ years old...
