LAWRENCEBURG, Ky. (AP) -- Flames shot 50 feet into the air Tuesday as a blaze consumed a seven-story warehouse full of Wild Turkey bourbon and reduced it to rubble, threatening the city's water supply.

Burning bourbon mixed with water from fire hoses flowed down a gully beside the warehouse into the Kentucky River. A water treatment plant was shut down after a large amount of bourbon entered the river near the intake for the city's water supply.

The burning bourbon also set fire to woods behind the water treatment plant, sheriff's officials said.


It was only 1 of 12 warehouses, but that still represents over one million gallons of burning bourbon!

I think I will open my windows just in case the smell gets this far north!<g>
