  It's interesting how closely placed the two center rows are. That seems to invite a spread of the fire. The land looks pretty remote/rural, so I can't imagine space is a constraint. I wonder if there's a technical reason for them to be so close together.

    Bigger site costs more, requires more fencing, more concreting, more wiring, more security staff and cameras, etc. I expect someone did the maths and decided that the low (and probably insured) risk of a fire taking out two rather than one container outweighed additional concrete/fencing/land/wiring.
