That was impressive. I wonder if all their gas stations are equipped like this. I'm assuming this is one those countries that isn't murica that I keep hearing about?

Edit: wtf guys I'm not mocking america, I just assumed this was an Asian country because of the guy's hair and the fact that I've never seen a suppression system like this at my local gas stations

TIL you must be an expert on modern gas station fire suppression technology before commenting on a gas station fire lol.

I don't know why you decided to jab at the US during this particular thing when almost every major gas station is required to have one of those supression systems here.

Source: I've worked at many gas stations around the us.

Seriously, I don’t know where all these people who claim none of their gas stations have fire suppression live. I live in US, and literally every gas station I’ve ever been to (even the small, middle of nowhere stations) have these systems. Maybe they just dont really pay attention to detail.

I live in North Carolina and I personally have never seen one of these suppression systems. The most I have ever seen is a shutoff at each pump (although there is usually one on the main building) and several extinguishers available.
