The Kentucky River is littered with dead fish in the wake of a massive fire at a Jim Beam bourbon warehouse.
The Kentucky River was littered with dead fish on Sunday in the wake of a massive fire at a bourbon warehouse.
Nearly 45,000 barrels of alcohol were destroyed in the fire, which required firefighters from four neighboring counties to assist in putting it out. Firefighters held back from dousing the blaze with too much water -- anticipating that bourbon-tainted runoff might contaminate nearby bodies of water. The Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources said it was conducting wildlife assessments in an effort to determine a"fish kill count." Officials warned residents to beware of"dead and dying fish."
