How would one use a fire extinguuisher?
As a sea captain I know this one. Aim your fire extinguisher at the base of the flame. This will cool and choke off air to the fire. If the fire is an electrical fire you should first cut off the exectrical power. Then use the fire extinguisher. If the fire is an oil fire keep in mind that it can reflash. Try to use a foam fire extinguisher to choke off the air.

Trick question, if the fire extinguisher is full of water, such as a Class 2A.

Unfortunately, many fires react violently when water is applied to them, so a different type of fire extinguisher must be used.
