Dear Mr. Crump:

COMMISSIONER, PCT. 4
Kerr County wishes to request a variance from the Commission on
Jail Standards requiring Kerr County to update the smoke removal
system in the Kerr County Jail. The following three (3) reasons are
the justifications for our request:
1. The astronomical amount of $140,000.00 projected cost
to upgrade our present smoke removal system as
presented by Architect Rex Martin.
2. An Emergency Plan Agreement with City Fire Marshal
Keith Spenrath has been put in place and tested as
attested to by attached letter.
3. The Commissioners' Court attached Statement of Intent
to build a new detention facility with 192 beds and law
enforcement center with the City of Kerrville and to
proceed with the temporary facility housing 48
prisoners.
Your continued cooperation with Kerr County is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,

Dear Sheriff Kaiser,
September 17,1993
On September 16,1993 the Kerrville Fire Department conducted a
full scale fire drill in the Kerr County Jail.
Prior to the drill being conducted, cell block A was cleared of
all prisoners. Other than this, all other actions and procedures
for a fire emergency in the facility were not changed. A 3 minute
smoke bomb was placed in the center bed area of said cell block.
Your staff member stayed in the cell and acted as a prisoner. He
advised the control room that there was a fire in that area. The
jailers then activated the fire alarm notifying the fire
department. One hailer then donned an air pack and accompanied by
another jailer with a fire extinguisher proceeded to locate the
fire and evacuate the would be pprisoners into the opposite side
of the jail which is separated b a fire wall. Upon finding the
fire simulated cell the bedroom door was closed as was the cell
block door. This was achieved in approximately one minute. then
the jailer with the air pack met the fire department at the stair
well. The fire department waited one and a half minutes in the
parking lot before entering the jail which was to simulate the
response time. This will normally be about one minute, however
more time was allowed to take into consideration for heavier
traffic etc. that may be experienced. At this time the smoke was
still confined in the bedroom area of the cell. A very light
smoke could be seen in the day room of the cell by the time the
first in fire units were in the hall of cell block area. The
first smoke ejectors were in place and operating approximately
three and one half minutes after the fire alarm was activated.
The smoke was directed outside by means of the recreation room.
Due to the directional control of the smoke, which was greatly
exaggerated from what would be experienced from a fire with the
fuel loads available, the remainder of the hall was never
impassable or a hazard. The entire exercise was completed with
all smoke residues eliminated in approximately eight minutes.
It is the opinion of this department that with the liven fuel
loads and studying possible emergency scenarios inside the jail,
the emergency plan with slight revisions can provide for the
safety of the prisoners and the jail facility until the new
facility is constructed.
