Two employees were injured in a fire at a Bitcoin mining facility in Soperton, Georgia, on October 22.

Emergency service crews responded to a fire at 811 Commerce Road at around 10:45pm local time, according to the Treutlen County Emergency Management Agency. The fire was quickly extinguished, and both injured workers were flown by helicopter to Augusta, WSBTV reported.

The address is listed as the Soperton facility of Bitcoin mining firm Canga. The Bitcoin miner acquired the 50MW site from LN Compute for $19.5 million in August 2025.

Treutlen County EMA director Justin McNure told a local news outlet that around a dozen employees were at the facility when the fire broke out. He estimated that one worker had suffered burns that covered at least 60 percent of their body, as reported in Daily Dispatch.

The State Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of the fire.

Cango announced the acquisition of the site on August 11, 2025, after having previously hosted its own mining equipment at the facility under a third-party agreement. At the time, it planned to allocate 30MW to self-mining and 20MW to hosting other customers.

The site has since become a base for the company’s expansion into AI computing through its EcoHash Technology subsidiary.

In a September 3 announcement, Cango said EcoHash had completed modifications to an existing AI-focused section supporting up to 3MW, and had begun providing commercial GPU compute services using an initial batch of servers. Further GPU deployments were ongoing, the company said at the time.

The AI infrastructure uses high-density compute containers incorporating power, cooling, and networking systems, with fibre connectivity supporting AI workloads. Cango said deploying the modules alongside its existing mining infrastructure had reduced the need for new construction or site modifications.

DCD previously reported EcoHash’s launch in April, with the Georgia facility intended as its first deployment before expansion to other locations.

The local fire reports reviewed did not establish the extent of the damage caused by the recent fire or whether Bitcoin mining or EcoHash’s GPU services were disrupted. DCD has contacted the firm for comment.
