There used to be a sign out front saying "EPIC CAR PARK", and when I saw it, I looked at the car park and thought "meh, it's not that great".

Add another 5 months after the incident (like now).
The long hours being abused (e.g. pan/tilt/shutter movements to fast for the stepmotors) in "extreme" conditions (heat/dust/smoke).
All internal fans are working properly (in my opinion the cause of fire)
Yeah, you'll be fine.
No worries.
