Gas station fire fighting

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?

Probably too expensive. Many petrol stations are privately owned and run on franchises. 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.

Maybe it’s because they’re near a drag strip and selling “Nitro”
