In early June 2026, a fire broke out at an unfinished building located in Somerset Lake Malin, New York. The $3.2 billion project was owned and operated by TeraWulf, with Fluidstack responsible for its operation. Google held 14% equity options and guaranteed the lease payments, with Anthropic being one of the main clients. The local fire department found no working alarms, no suppression systems, and three damaged fire hydrants. Safety documents were destroyed in the fire, preventing firefighters from identifying the chemicals and leading them to enter the area blindly.

In early June, a fire broke out at the unfinished building of the Marlin Data Center on Sommet Lake in New York. The local fire department was stuck due to a lack of safety documents. The $3.2 billion campus is owned and operated by TeraWulf, with Fluidstack responsible for operations. Google holds 14% equity options and guarantees lease payments, and Anthropic is one of the AI companies that serve at the facility. No work alarms, suppression systems, or three available fire hydrants were found at the scene of the fire, and safety documents were reportedly destroyed in the fire. Buckler Fire Chief Steve Martiz said that his crew entered “almost blindly,” facing thick smoke from which no chemicals could be identified, and feeling confused about whether the safety documents had actually been destroyed. The site was originally a coal mine on Ontario Lake.
