1. Although the walls are lath and plaster, a fireproof sheet has been sealed between the sheets of plaster.
2. The original Globe had two small doors by which 3000 people were able to exit without injury when the building burned in 1613. Nevertheless modern fire codes required two extra doors in the ground floor and also that the doors be wider.
3. The capacity is half of what the original was, although the building is the same size. Only 1500 spectators are permitted to enter.
4. The thatch roof is the first of its kind in London since 1666. Thatched roofs were believed to have contributed to the enormity of the fire which occured in that year. The Globe's thatch has been treated with a fire-retardant chemical and fireboard has been put under it. There is also a sprinkler system.
