Just be aware that those small fire extingushers only last seconds rather than minutes, so unless you are there at the very start, go to
plan B; escape with what you safely can.
We had a vehicle fire started under dashboard (electrical short). It was a group of youngsters who stopped and sacrificed their Friday night beer that saved our Landcruiser - all the same it was thousands of dollars worth of damage repaired under insurance claim. A car fire extinguisher wouldn't have done the job.
I heard of one person saving their motorhome (i recall fire started from an overheated wheel bearing) with one of those
hand pump to pressure garden sprays; they hold around 10 litres of water i think.
