Still no answers for old jail fire

Mike Crenshaw, Oconee Sheriff, said this morning there are still no answers to explain the September 23 fire that damaged the old county jail.  “We do know the origin was inside the room used by uniform patrol to complete paperwork,” he said.  The county’s insurance carrier has sent an independent cause and origin investigator to review what happened.  But Crenshaw said that investigator awaits word from the manufacturers of the various electrical devices that were in the room, to determine if their representatives wish to be present when he conducts further investigation.  Those manufacturers had ten days to respond.
