Wow, I never knew that gas stations had those things. I have seen the "In case of fire, push button" things before but I guess I just thought it was a way to notify the store (or possibly 911 directly) that there was a fire. I did not know it would set off a fire suppresion system.

I don't think it does do that at most stations... I've been at a gas station when someone pushed the fire button (no i didn't do it, it was some little brat running around while dad bought gas, dad had a bit of explaining to do when the PD showed up.), and a loud alarm goes off warning people to clear the area, red lights on the pumps light up, and the pumps switch off totally... no suspression system though...
Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
