Well an initial comment is that I have a friend that is a fire scene
investigator and we have discussed this sort of thing before. She has
seen the aftermath of people that don't know when to give up trying to
fight a fire with the extinguishers and other items they have and end up
as statistics (dead). IIRC from her professional point of view best to
get out and let the professionals sort the fire if an initial attempt
doesn't squash to fire quickly in it infancy.


And, on the other hand I have put out two fires, using an
extinguisher, that could have burned down my house or workshop.

But then again, I recently bought a bicycle and on both the front and
rear forks was an arrow shaped decal point at the axal and stating
"failure to tighten this nut not may result in loss of the wheel", so
perhaps I'm one of the more intelligent members of the human
race???????
