Fire concerns are at the center of an East Tennessee jail and the problem is coming down to overcrowding, according to officials. Now, county leaders are working to address those concerns by bringing down the number of inmates. A Facebook post by Hamblen County Sheriff Esco Jarnigan caught our attention Tuesday night. Sheriff Jarnigan shared about a recent meeting with the State Fire Marshal’s Office and what he’s doing to solve the problem the state says needs to be fixed. Hamblen County leaders say the efforts stem from a complaint filed with the state. The problem boils down to overcrowding, which is resulting in exits and entrances being blocked by inmates. The state says that’s a fire hazard.
