Fire Torches Jim Beam Warehouse With 40,000 Barrels of Bourbon The massive warehouse <br />is located in Versailles, KY. The blaze began <br />Tuesday night, <br />possibly ignited <br />by lightning. Firefighters from five <br />counties worked to get <br />the fire under control. The heat was <br />reportedly so intense <br />that it melted some <br />fire engine lights. Emily York, Jim Beam, via CNN The blaze is being allowed to <br />continue so that less distilled <br />spirits will burn off, making water <br />source pollution less likely. A Jim Beam spokesperson <br />said the fire "will not impact the <br />availability of Jim Beam for consumers."
