Emergency responders run into buildings everyone else is running out of. 
Keep their safety in mind when designing your mega-data centers.

The emergency services of Bas-Rhin sent 115 firefighters and 44 machines 
including six "cannon launchers" and two ladders, according to the DNA 
report. The facility is virtually on the French border, and other 
resources were mobilized across the border in Germany, according to a 
press release from Bas-Rhin. A Franco-German pump boat, Europa 1, carrying 
a German crew, helped put out the fire, taking water directly from the 
Rhine.
