The fire that devastated historic Notre Dame Cathedral in London, Monday 15th,2019; is by not the only historic landmark that is at risk of fires.

The fire took nine hours for fire fighters to the extinguish the blaze; however the famous church is not the only landmark that is in danger of being destroyed.

“All medieval buildings are at risk. They all have wood,” said Susan Corr, president of the European Confederation of Conservators Restorers’ Organisations.

The church, that was being renovated at the time, has called into the restoration process. Corr has assured the public that the restoration process is extensive and rigorous.

This event has called into concern of other landmarks that are also made of wood.

“Years of deferred maintenance can make sites vulnerable,” said Lisa Ackerman interim CEO of World Monument fund. “For many sites without the have poured in after the Notre Dane, an emphasis on preventative maintenance, attention to changes in conditions, and constant care are the best defenses against disaster.”

Several other sites, such as the British Houses of Parliament (which is scheduled for renovations in the mid-2020’s.) and the House of Commons which has water damage.

With parts as old as Notre Dame, lawmakers on Tuesday warned that fire safety measures are needed urgently for the iconic building known as the Palace of Westminster, right on the banks of the Thomas River.
