Summary
March 5, 1959—sixty-nine boys were locked inside a wooden dormitory as flames tore through the building. Twenty-one never made it out. Survivors Roy Davis, Archie Ray Poole, and Otis Sidney describe the terror of waking to smoke and locked exits, while fire investigators Jim Hawley and Keith Hulse, both retired New York City firefighters, explain how panic and bad design turned the dorm into a furnace. Superintendent Buddy Gaines, Governor Orval Faubus, and Captain W.A. Seaton of the Little Rock Fire Department appear through archival accounts as the episode reconstructs every minute of the blaze—from the first flicker in the caretaker’s office to the failed rescue attempts in the storm-soaked Arkansas night.
