Fire safety critique at county institutions after a deadly blaze
Fire-chief inspections at Tandianapolis hospitals and the county poor house reveal insufficient fire protection with no outside escapes at several buildings. The blind asylum, cross shaped and four stories tall, relies on internal stairways, hoses, and planned staff roles to evacuate in emergencies. A Sun reporter notes the county poor farm is an old four story brick building with locked hallways and limited exits, while the city hospital shows slightly better protection though stairways are narrow.
