Cultural heritage, as a representation of a society's identity and culture, necessitates protection and preservation. Among the various risks that pose a threat to cultural heritage, fire stands out as one of the most significant. Fire poses diverse forms of damage to cultural heritage, making the protection of such heritage against fire a matter of great importance. To develop a fire risk management plan, one of the crucial steps is conducting a fire risk assessment, which differs in their approach when applied to cultural heritage and museums due to their intrinsic value. This article seeks to introduce two fire risk assessment models specific to cultural heritage and museums. Firstly, the CPRAM model quantitatively evaluates fire risk based on four criteria, considering factors such as usage type and accessibility for firefighters. Secondly, the ABC model qualitatively ranks fire risk by considering frequency, value lost in each affected item, and the value pie ratio. By emphasizing the significance of safeguarding cultural heritage and museums from fire, this article underscores the necessity of comprehensive programs and modeling in this particular domain.
