- joegibbs 2mo agoNot at all. Plenty more flammable types of building.
- WCSTombs 2mo agoIt's not unheard of, like when the South Korean government lost a bunch of its data in a data center fire. Don't have the only copy of your data in a data center, and you won't have to worry about such a thing happening to you.
