Small Scale, High Proof
As craft distilleries proliferate around the country, concerns grow over the scarcity of safety guidance offered for distillers and AHJs
IN 2003, A LIGHTNING STRIKE AT A JIM BEAM warehouse in Bardstown, Kentucky, set the wood-frame structure ablaze and sent 800,000 gallons of flaming bourbon into a nearby retention pond. Fueled by the storm’s whipping winds, flames from the burning spirit shot skyward and formed a massive fire whirl over the pond that was captured on video and later widely shared online, where sensationalized headlines dubbed it a “firenado.” No one was hurt in the incident, although the Weather Channel reported the casualties of “many fish.”

THE CRAFT CONCERN
In January, the Pittsburgh Fire Department was called to Wigle Whiskey, a craft distillery that opened in 2012 in the city's Strip District. When firefighters arrived, they discovered that a boiler inside the distillery, located in a mixed-use brick building about 70 feet from an apartment complex, had exploded. Fire did not break out, but one employee suffered minor injuries.

THE CASE FOR MORE REGULATION
Gittleman's point gets to the crux of the issue—even though authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) might recognize the risk posed by distilleries in their areas, they have little to reference to enforce fire-safe practices. While the distilling industry has been self-regulating for decades, the craft boom raises the question of whether additional guidance can or should be provided by organizations like NFPA.

SMALL BUT SAFE?
Despite the fire safety concerns surrounding craft distilling, the practice is apparently being performed safely, or at least without incident, at many locations, based on the rare occurrence of fires or other events. Over roughly the past year, just a handful of news reports were generated by fires or explosions at U.S. distilleries.
