Roberts said a prisoner had
set his clothing and a
polyurethane mattress afire.
“When we got there, smoke
had covered the entire ceilblock
which houses 90 prisoners,” he
said. “We extinguished the fire
within 5 minutes, but when we
put the fire out, it created a
dense smoke and this is what
caused the deaths,”
He said that some of the
firefighters suffered smoke in
halation and were being treated
in hospitals, but he did not be
lieve any of them were seriously
hurt.
“This is the worst I have wit
nessed in 29 years with the fire

were prisoners. He said there
were about 90 inmates in the

Columbia close call
United Press International
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. —
A faulty regulator allowed fuel
tank pressure to come close to
bursting a safety disc in the
space shuttle Columbia, but en
gineers caught it in time and
pressed on toward launch
Thursday with two commercial
satellites aboard.
Had the disc ruptured, a
lengthy delay would have been
necessary to repair the fuel sys
tem for 14 of the ship’s 28 rear
control jets, project engineer
Gene Thomas said.
“The guys were sharp
enough to catch it,” Thomas
said.
He said he was “90 percent
certain” project officials won
clear Columbia for launch wi
the faulty regulator,
