- Mitchell_jail_fire abstract "On Friday, May 3, 2002, a fire broke out at the Mitchell County jail in Bakersville, North Carolina. Bakersville is located east of Asheville, North Carolina, and has a population of less than 500. The jail, built in the 1950s, held 17 inmates; some were serving time for misdemeanors and others were awaiting trial on felonies.Jailer Diane Greene smelled smoke and called for help around 10:05 p.m. Greene and an inmate trustee, Melissa Robinson, tried to rescue trapped inmates, but heavy smoke forced them out of the building. The jail's four cells only could be opened manually, one at a time with keys. Two deputies, Stacy Hughes and Charles Vines Jr., freed eight inmates on the ground floor, but they were not able to reach the men upstairs. By 11:30 p.m., about 100 firefighters from four counties had extinguished the fire.Eight inmates died of smoke inhalation. Seven were trapped on the second floor, and one was in a holding cell on the ground floor. Thirteen others — nine inmates, three jail employees, and one firefighter — were injured and hospitalized.The SBI originally classified the fire as an accident, saying it begin in a storage room on the jail's ground floor when cardboard boxes stacked against a heater ignited creating heavy smoke that quickly spread through the two-story brick and wood building.The site of the former jail has been turned into a memorial.".
