BILLY RAY CYRUS - CHIMNEY FIRE TO BLAME FOR CYRUS CONCERT BLAZE

CHIMNEY FIRE TO BLAME FOR CYRUS CONCERT BLAZE

A chimney fire is being blamed for the cancellation of a televised BILLY RAY CYRUS concert on Friday night (06Feb09).Miley Cyrus' dad was forced to abandon a concert in Hesperia, California after fire broke out in the building next door to the venue.
The Achy Breaky Heart hitmaker was due to record a performance for U.S. TV show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition but a blaze at the nearby Boulder Creek Ranch forced an emergency evacuation.
Producers of the ABC TV series have since revealed a chimney fire was behind the chaos.
A statement reads, "A chimney fire broke out tonight during an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition shoot at a secondary location where crowds gathered for a Billy Ray Cyrus concert. There were no injuries and all spectators were safely evacuated.
"The cast and crew wish to express their sincere compassion to Jim and Gail Hasty, who were kind enough to host the concert at their Boulder Creek Ranch property and lost their lodge in the fire."
Cyrus was set to give a free concert to the public in honour of the Almquist family who will be featured in an upcoming episode of the show.
