[AV Media Matters] Fire protection

[ilse <assmanni@sabc.co.za>]

Our collection is stored in a room, on the second floor of the building,
that has two brick walls and two 'dry' walls. The ceilings are fairly low
and the tapes are stored in their box containers on steel shelving. There
are no windows. The area is at a remote side of the building and over
weekends totally isolated.

We are now attempting to upgrade the security of this area. We would like to
know:
1) What could you recommend to replace the dry walls, if brick seems
complicated and difficult (due to the positioning of the area);
2) What fire extinguishers would you recommend?
3) What safety doors would you recommend?
