All that alcohol, and all those fumes makes fire an ever-present danger at a distillery, albeit one that is usually managed successfully.
It’s not known what caused the explosion and fire yesterday at the distillery at the Winery at Wolf Creek, Norton, Ohio. But aside from significant damage to the on-site distillery, no significant damage was reported. Everyone, including goats that are an attraction at the winery, was reported safe.
Cause of the fire and amount of damage hadn’t been determined as this issue of Kane’s Beverage News Daily “went to press.”
