That is strange that one is different. Often insurance companies drive these protections much harder than govts, I'd hate to be that station operator if that is actually a design/installation oversight.

i actually looked on both sides of the building, front, and the isle... i'm not seeing it. I can usually spot em easilly.

I do see fire extinguishers..e tc.

only place i have not looked is tha back of the building.

many stations have a lil list saying in case of fire, go hit e-shutoff and notify attendant or fire dept. this one i can't find the sign saying that. :)

I've picked up some good reminders from these two threads on this subject.

Not for the first time, I've been thinking it would be great if there were more TBN types around in the real world. Better that, than people that just stand back and take videos, instead of involving themselves with something as strenuous as pushing a switch !

i agree.. it seems the average TBN'r is a bit more um.. aware of their souroundings than the average population.

yep.. good thing.. only mildly annoying. like in movie theaters. I'm always aware of movement behind me.. in large open cafeteria type buildings. my eyes automatically glance to door openings or hallways with movement... :)

hmm.. was that you following me the other day ;) ( too closely i might add.. ;) )

the only bad thing about those space cushions.. is other people see it as waste, and figure out they can wedge in their mini car into that spot... I guess they are voulenteering their crush zone to protect my old 1 ton truck from damage.. as my bumper is around their hood / windshield level.. :)
