Fire protection of heritage monuments in Norway and the Czech Republic

Pavel Jirásek, Daniel Rexa, Petr Svoboda

The article introduces the fire protection system in Norway. It describes the project of protecting columned churches which, from the original number of about 1,500, only 28 have survived to date, then it discusses the fire protection system in the Røros UNESCO reservation. The authors used their experience gained during their study trips or long stays in the country, where fire protection of heritage properties is on an outstanding level, especially concerning wooden buildings. The article also provides a comparison between Norway and the Czech Republic, not only regarding the levels of fire protection of heritage properties, but particularly in the conditions that owners of listed buildings have available. From the authors' Norwegian experiences, the article then outlines those in particular which can be transferred to the Czech environment and may serve as a direct inspiration.
