What's really tragic is how we never learn - we're just reactive. How much fire detection and prevention equipment could be bought for a tiny fraction of what it will now cost? With a place as precious and irreplaceable as that, even a single night watchman (remember those) with a fire extinguisher would have cost peanuts in comparison!
Look out for the next renovation to go up in smoke.

Night watchman (or two) with heat sensitive IR cameras.

Even so, the speed with which timber this old and dry, surrounded as it typically is by combustible detritus like old birds nest and so forth, can go up in smoke is incredible so a fire may very well have still become uncontrollable before spotted anyway.
