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.

Ah, seems to be right, my bad.

Also, to correct myself a bit more: it was Europe’s biggest datacenter.
