Would you use a carbon dioxide or powder fire extinguisher in an enclosed space?

Carbon Dioxide extinguishers displace the air from the immediate area, and so are not suitable for confined spaces (though they're safe in a normal-sized room). Dry powder is non-toxic, but is discharged as a cloud of irritating dust, which can cause vision problems in a confined space. Generally, I would use the nearest extinguisher suitable for the fire, and vacate the area immediately after discahrge to wait for the fire service to check the area.
