I never really thought about it before since everything here is self-service. I found a few stats. Don't really know if they mean anything or not.

Facts & figures
An estimated 5,020 fires and explosions occurred at public service stations per year from 2004-2008. That means that, on average, one in every 13 service stations experienced a fire. These 7,400 fires caused an annual average of two civilian deaths, 48 civilian injuries and $20 million in property damage.
Of those 5,020 fires, almost two-thirds (61%) involved vehicles. Structure fires accounted for 12% of total incidents but 59% of the direct property damage.
Twelve percent of fire incidents at service stations were outside trash or rubbish fires
