Many Brazilian warehouses keep artworks in storage – but few have firefighting systems. This is a reality in the sector that marks a fundamental difference between a warehouse that stores any kind of object and a fine art storage facility, as is the case with Clé Reserva Contemporânea.
As a company specialising in artworks and museum collections, fire prevention and firefighting are absolute priorities. Clé's warehouse has a modern smoke monitoring and detection system, integrated and connected to the base of the Corpo de Bombeiros Militar. The spaces are compartmentalised by fire doors and fire walls, so that, should an outbreak occur, the chances of it spreading are minimal.
Another major differentiator is the team of civilian firefighters who work in shifts to guarantee a presence 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Each professional carries out patrols several times during their shift, and must pass through 170 electronically monitored checkpoints. The firefighter has an electronic wand that has to physically touch each checkpoint – if one of them is not visited during the patrol, the system alerts the warehouse team.
In addition, Clé keeps an up-to-date emergency plan and carries out regular drills and training sessions with the whole team.
