It seems some service-stations have fire extinguishing equipment mounted in the canopy over the pumps, so that any leaks or fires can be doused in powder or other fire-preventing material as fast as possible.

This sounds like a laudable safety precaution . . . as long as the activating mechanism isn't within reach of clumsy motorists, as this video clip demonstrates!





Oops . . .

I always wondered about that pull switch. Now I don't have to find out the hard way.
