Apart from a swanky multimedia fountain which will show holographic visuals, the BMC's elaborate plans for the textile museum at Kalachowkie now includes a state-of-the-art fire-fighting system. Instead of the usual fire-fighting equipment, which involves sprinklers, the JJ College of Architecture, which is responsible for the design of the museum, has suggested a gaseous fire suppression system to ensure that the artefacts are not damaged in case of a fire.

The textile museum at Kalachowkie is the BMC's tribute to the city's once thriving mill culture. As part of the '300cr project, the mill structures will be restored and converted into a museum that will showcase various artefacts related to the life of mill workers and the history of the textile industry in Mumbai Rajiv Mishra, principal of JJ and member of the Mumbai Heritage Conservation Committee, pointed out that the museum will get a unique fire-fighting system. He said that since the gaseous suppression system, otherwise referred to as the total flooding system, is a more expensive alternative, many establishments don't opt for it. "Fire safety of a structure is as important as water supply. In this project, we have upgraded the form of fighting. We have recommended the total flooding system which uses gas instead of water and it will not destroy the artefacts while dousing the fire," said Mishra.
