A technical infrastructure room can be severely damaged or completely destroyed by a fire, causing the business processes or specialised tasks that depend on it to fail. There is a risk of fire in a room with power cables and power consumers. The circuit breakers or equipment fuses could fail to trip when the currents are too high, for example. On the other hand, negligence can also lead to fires: If people smoke in a technical infrastructure room, for instance, cables and devices made of combustible material could catch fire. In addition, sparks can be produced due to overvoltage or overheating, which can lead to a fire. A fire in a technical infrastructure room can also spread to other parts of the building. Conversely, a fire in a building can also spread to its technical infrastructure room.
