Looks like a "refugee" from the middle east.

Too bad he didn't light himself up in the process.

Those extinguishers did their job amazingly well though.

Are those extinguishers at every gas pump? I can't say I've ever looked up to see them.

Too bad he didn't go up in flames himself!

It's a New York City thing. That's the only place that uses them.

I'm told that most other pumps have insulation and a lot of cut offs to prevent a fire from getting out of hand. but that was second hand info from a firefighter friend of mine.

 

[Mr_Roboto]

He was trying to imitate this.

Its funny seeing all the people on social media say this is why it should be illegal to allow people to pump their own gas...

Those fire extinguishers are awesome. I want them for my garage.
