A fire broke out in a room at a Chirisa Technology Parks data center in Virginia.
The incident began at 8am on Wednesday, August 20, at the facility at 1401 Meadowville Technology Park, Chesterfield County.
The fire was contained to the room, and no one was injured, Chesterfield County Fire and EMS said.
The data center is believed to be part of the joint venture with PowerHouse and Blue Owl to provide data center services for AI cloud firm CoreWeave.
Chirisa did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Fires remain a high risk at data centers, with the combination of high-voltage power, lithium-ion batteries, and water.
This past 12 months have seen fires at an AWS construction site, an Equinix cage, an X data center, an Indian government data center, a Telecom Egypt facility, a SUNeVision cooling system, and Digital Realty's UPS system.
