Loser Ranger #06 — Excessive Fire Safety
Exactly how many extinguishers are there? Impressions: And why does a single one have enough gas in it to obscure an entire parking garage for five minutes? I’m very certain that would be exceptionally bad for the lungs, and likely make breathing outright impossible. Why are we even fighting in a parking garage anyway? …
