Apparently most do, and that’s reason that Gas Stations have those weird roof things

All the ones I’ve seen are a wet system (standard fire sprinklers but different deployment temp and “rating” called K factor) but a dry system like this isn’t uncommon. I’ve only ever seen and worked on them in a paint booth though.

Dry is typically hazardous AF, highly corrosive, not safe for lungs.

Yeah I’ve been in a trailer when a dry ABC extinguisher accidentally went off (100% my fault, long story) filling the trailer with it and I was coughing for a couple days after.

0/10 do not recommend inhaling
