Before anyone else has a heart-attack (I nearly had one - I use this all the
time):

  A fire ripped through the Internet Archive.s (IA) San Francisco scanning
  centre ... it has lost about $600,000 worth of digitisation hardware.

  Luckily, no data was hurt during the blaze, which did not affect the IA's
  main building.

So it's serious, but not catastrophic. (And I hope they have off-site backups!)
