Also, you know OVH will be investing significantly in fire prevention strategies, so that will all be state of the art.

Well, you would hope they would be but then they thought they had done so already and look how that worked out.

Before you experience a major problem, you tend to guess what is good enough to mitigate it. Once you've experienced a major problem, you tend to ensure that exact failure mode never happens again.

I would be surprised if OVH had another fire in the future.
