A fire drill was held at Kiyomizu Temple in Japan's ancient capital of Kyoto on Tuesday.
About 100 temple officials and people from nearby areas participated. The temple has been registered as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The drill was held on the assumption that fire had broken out in the temple's main building, a Japanese national treasure.
After a fire alarm went off, participants rushed to douse the building with water. Others who arrived soon after carried a figure to safety as if it were a precious Buddhist statue.
Participants also sprayed water to see if fire hydrants and hoses work, and tested out a 1,500-ton water tank for the 1st time.
The head of a local fire station said each participant understood the role they had to play, and expressed resolve to protect Japan's cultural assets in Kyoto.
