Depending upon the size and type of extinguisher, it may operate for as little as ten seconds or as long as 10 minutes.
Note that an extinguisher is still considered "portable" if it is on wheels, meaning it may be well over over 100 pounds.

What is the correct question to be asked and answered before attempting to extinguish a fire with a portable fire extinguisher?

Who invented the fire Extinguisher'?
Records show that Ambrose Godfrey patented a fire extinguisher in England in 1723 and that George William Manby invented the "modern" extinguisher in 1818. One could also argue that a bucket full of water or sand is also a "fire extinguisher" and was invented about the time people started living in houses. There are some who incorrectly believe that Thomas "T.J." Marshall invented the fire extinguisher in 1872. Others say, "Ochoa L.C Bailey July 18,1899". See the related questions about Thomas J. Martin for more about 1872. (Martin's patent is titled "Fire Extinguisher", but describes an improvement to a system of pipes installed inside a building, like a sprinkler system, nothing like a portable "fire extinguisher" of today.)

Who patented the fire extinguisher in 1872?
The first fire extinguisher of which there is any record was patented in England in 1723 by Ambrose Godfrey, a celebrated chemist.

This was connected with a system of fuses which were ignited, exploding the gunpowder and scattering the solution. This device was probably used to a limited extent, as Bradley's Weekly Messenger for November 7, 1729, refers to its efficiency in stopping a fire in London.

How long do the contents of an extinguisher last when opened?
If an extinguisher has been partially discharged, it should be recharged or replaced at once. Some extinguishers- notably the dry powder type, will begin to leak the propellant gas, and lose all pressure within a few days. This is due to powder preventing the release valve from fully seating. The amount of time the contents of an extinguisher will continue being expelled from an extinguisher when the extinguisher is "opened" to extinguish a fire depends on the size of an extinguisher and how the user chooses to employ it (continuous or in bursts). Most easily portable extinguishers will last for less than a minute if held open for continuous use.
