Protection And Maintenance
The Eiffel Tower gets a new coat of paint every 7 years which, amazingly weighs 60 tonnes, kind of like 12,000 gallons of water. In a case of a fire, the Eiffel Tower is equipped with around 550 sprinklers and the first and second floor, 800 fire detectors with a automatic gas extinguishing system, which reduces the level of oxygen in the room which puts the fire out.
