IMO you should take this fire as evidence, that you need to have (working!) backups wherever you host your data. AWS, GCP Azure are not fire resistant, same as OVH. I don't know if OVH is more or less competent than big three, I choose to trust no one.

I read multiple times that they didn't even have sprinklers, only smoke detectors in their EU datacenter(s). I'm 100% sure AWS, Azure and Google have better fire prevention.
This thread has people saying they have sprinklers, don't have sprinklers, have / don't have gas suppression, and have puppies / actually have toilets.

Wait for the misinformation hose to dry up, and decide in a few weeks.
