   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-2700
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Arnold and Colloton, Circuit
   Judges]
   Civil case - civil rights. In action by a pretrial detainee alleging the
   sheriff failed to ensure his safety after a fire broke out at the jail, the
   district court did not err in granting the sheriff's motion for summary
   judgment; even if the fire was caused by inmates'smoking, the jail's anti-
   smoking policy and the officers' efforts to curb the use of contraband
   demonstrated no deliberate indifference to a substantial risk to plaintiff's
   safety; jail's inoperable sprinklers and lack of extra fire equipment did
   not amount to deliberate indifference in light of the jail officers' efforts 
   to prevent contraband and the presence of fire extinguishers and smoke
   detectors; failure to provide additional safety training did not constitute
   deliberate indifference to plaintiff's safety; under the circumstances, the
   sheriff's safety-related decisions were discretionary in nature, and he was
   entitled to official immunity on plaintiff's negligence claims.
