(BEIJING, November 14) -- Six water guns are arrayed on the roof of the Workers' Indoor Arena to track any fires and extinguish them in case of emergency.
According to chief engineer Liu Bingyu, the renovated 13,000 seat Olympic boxing venue has another fire-fighting feature: its external windows on the loop veranda outside the lounge at the fourth floor are electricity -powered, and operate simultaneously with firefighting facilities.
In case of a fire, they open automatically and trigger extinguishers at the same time.
