Data centers have the potential for fire and so local fire departments must spend resources being prepared for such a thing.
Edit: water (and sometimes electricity) are local services also and data centers use quite a bit of these.
Not a data centre expert, but don't they quite famously pump CO2 into the server rooms automatically if the fire alarms go off, even if there are people in the room?
