What are you thinking? Me & the pilot actually had 3 extinguishers between us, 1 from the cockpit, 1 from my car, and one big one from the household.
With a cockpit fire and someone perhaps stuck, you don't just sit and wait!

Aha, now I see your point.

You are correct, I meant housefire, but I still don't have an answer pertaining to whether one should attempt to put out a fire in their plane with a handheld extinguisher.

No reason not to try....you're not going to make things any worse.

When my kitchen at the restaurant caught fire last year, I really should of waited the 10 minutes for firemen to arrive, and let the place go up in flames, rather than reach over on the wall and grab the extinguisher and put it out myself.  Or when a contractor lit my FME covers on fire doing hot work at the nuke plant, I should of called the fire team and then sat around, rather than call them and put it out myself first.   :headscratch:

OMG wow what a story AND I know the show that guy is on Lazy Town! My son loves it.

Glad everyone is ok. You have to watch that show just once for like 5 minutes to see it.

Odd country you live in.
Our house caught fire some years ago, and the fire was quelched before the brigade arrived.
Doing nothing could have meant all our assets in flames, and insurances don't cover everything you know, including the business we run in the house (B & B)
Instead, we had one room to fix and were payed by the insurance.
And when human lives are involved, you do not think on these notes. Shame on that!

Glad everyone was o.k.!  As far as putting out a fire, why would they even have fire extinguishers if you weren't supposed to use them?  And even if you weren't supposed to use them on avgas, I think if someone stumbled out of the plane on fire, they would have appreciated an attempt to at least put THEM out.

Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.
