Fire Destroys Award-Winning Ham Business

CLINTON, Ky. — A blaze that tore through an award-winning country ham business in western Kentucky burned much of the 100,000-square-foot facility to the ground.

Media reported that fire crews were called to Harper's Country Hams in Hickman County before daybreak Wednesday and spent much of the day getting the blaze under control, then putting out hot spots.

Hickman County Fire and Rescue Chief David Cox said windy conditions caused the blaze to spread quickly. The state fire marshal's office is investigating.
