<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">Yes, in Chicago we will see an increase in home fires because heating systems are being pushed to their limits and people tend to do stupid things like run unattended
space heaters and try to thaw frozen stuff in crazy ways. In a datacenter you might be pushing electrical loads while external electrical components are stressed with temperature. I have seen transformer fires caused by the oil inside not circulating correctly.
You end up with hot and cold zones in them.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
