Title: Gas station fire fighting Post by: Manky Monkey on October 03, 2019, 01:50:40 AM I wandered past a filling station in Boston this morning & noticed their pumps were fitted with overhead foam nozzles, operated from the kiosk.
What a simple but brilliant idea. How come we don't do that? Title: Re: Gas station fire fighting Post by: Manky Monkey on October 03, 2019, 01:51:12 AM .

The operators don't actually make much money as most of what we pay is tax that goes straight to the government. God knows what they do with it.
