Whenever any jail is on fire or any building contiguous or near
a jail is on fire and there is reason to believe that the
prisoners confined in the jail may be injured or endangered, the
sheriff or keeper of the jail may remove the prisoners to some
safe and convenient place and confine them as long as necessary
to avoid such danger, or if the jail is destroyed, until some
other place is provided by the county commissioners for their
