Museums told to upgrade fire-prevention checks
The National Cultural Heritage Administration has ordered fire-safety checks at museums nationwide following the fire at Brazil's National Museum in Rio de Janeiro on Sept 2, which destroyed almost all its 20 million artifacts.
In a notice released on Friday, the administration required fire checks to be launched for antiques and museums.
The checks will also prioritize facilities with poor fire-safety technologies and those that are faced with sharp problems of fire-safety management.
The administration also required efforts to screen hazards such as blocked fire exits, outdated electric circuits and illicit usage of electrical appliances. It also called for cultural heritage sites to carry out examinations and hire specialized teams to manage their fire-safety and electrical systems.
