Ocado did run into multiple fire issues due to these robots colliding with each other. In 2019 and 2021 [1]

Wonder if the matter has been resolved.

I'd suggest robots with fire extinguishers.

Or non-combustible robots

I'm curious how Amazon handles fire in the midst of their Kiva pods. Do they have procedures for retasking an army of robots to clear a path for humans to get access?

If there are really no humans there they could just fill the warehouse with nitrogen or something. No fire!
