What happened
On 12 September 2025 the Richmond Times-Dispatch published a headline about new details surrounding a fourth fire at the Chirisa data centre in Chesterfield. Only the headline is available. The cause, the date of the fire, any injuries, damage, and the fire service response were not reported in the text obtained.
Contributing factors
Not reported. The headline does not say what started the fire or which equipment was involved.
Lessons learned
- A further fire at a data centre that has already had fires should be logged as part of the site history, not as an isolated event.
- Headline-only reports should not be used to state a cause, an injury toll or an outcome.
- Operators should keep power and battery equipment records ready so a later official account can be checked against the site history.
