So lots of heat plus combustible material.. That sounds like a winning idea to me.
If memory serves right, one of Germany's datacenters went up in flames a few years ago because they had wooden flooring and no adequate fire suppression systems.
EDIT: it was in France, and Europe's biggest datacenter.
It was OVH in France
Ah, seems to be right, my bad.
Also, to correct myself a bit more: it was Europe's biggest datacenter.
