Firefighters Respond To Smoke Inside Century Correctional Library
August 10, 2012
Several area fire departments responded to the Century Correctional Institution Thursday night after light smoke was reported in the prison’s library.
The smoke and electrical smell in library building was reported about 9:20 p.m. Power to the standalone building was cut, and a preliminary determination was made that the smoke may have originated with an air conditioner motor.
The Century, McDavid, Molino and Walnut Hill stations of Escambia Fire Rescue responded to the prison, with most firefighters staging outside the facility’s fence. Firefighters were on scene for about an hour.
There was no damage reported and no injuries.
The Century Correctional Institution library is located in a portion of the compound that is separated by fences, barbed wire and gates from prisoner housing. The library was not open at the time of the incident.
