Lax safety rules blamed after Maury County Jail fire
The Maury County Jail fire that killed 42 inmates and visitors exposed missing sprinkler and smoke alarm requirements. Officials noted the jail lacked automatic cell unlocking and relied on seven keys to free 56 prisoners, while a 13 year old inspection found adequate fire extinguishers. Authorities plan review to prevent similar disasters and arson charges were filed against 16 year old Andrew Zinmer, now in critical condition, as the case proceeds.
