DIAGNÓSTICO DAS CONDIÇÕES DE SEGURANÇA CONTRA INCÊNDIO EM EDIFICAÇÕES HISTÓRICAS: ESTUDO DE CASO CASARÃO FEDERICO GONZAGA JAYME EM RIO VERDE – GO

Abstract

This study presents a diagnosis of the fire safety conditions of the Frederico Gonzaga Jayme Mansion, an important historic landmark in Rio Verde – GO. Built in 1888, the building is currently in a state of abandonment and structural degradation, worsened by legal disputes. Fire risk assessment involves several factors, including fire load, building classification, emergency access conditions, and other elements related to the building's construction characteristics and use. In this context, this study aimed to analyze the fire risk in a historic building through a case study of the Frederico Gonzaga Jayme Mansion, located in the municipality of Rio Verde – GO. For the assessment, the fire risk analysis method proposed by Professor Antônio Maria Claret Gouveia was adopted — a methodology designed exclusively for analyzing fire risk in such sites, which differs from modern standards that require structural modifications in listed buildings. The work on the historic landmark protected by the municipality of Rio Verde, known as "O Casarão," is under imminent risk of total loss, making immediate intervention by public authorities and preservation agencies imperative. Technical restoration and the implementation of adequate safety measures are the only viable paths to ensuring the safeguarding of historical memory and the integrity of the municipal architectural heritage.
