My dad s a retired fire fighter and the mechanisms he used were although more olden kind, they were similar to the fire extinguisher. In a life threatening situation you must not panic and aim it in the middle up of the fire, releasing the outer burning energy and then go around it smothering the fire. HOPE THAT HELPS!!!
To safely extinguish a metal fire using a fire extinguisher, follow these steps: Use a Class D fire extinguisher specifically designed for metal fires. Stand at a safe distance from the fire and aim the extinguisher nozzle at the base of the flames. Sweep the extinguishing agent back and forth across the fire until it is completely out. Do not use water or a regular fire extinguisher on a metal fire, as it can make the fire worse.

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.
