What would happen if you dropped a co2 extinguisher onto an open fire?

My educated guess is that the cylinder would explode. The reason for this is not due to any exceptional reactivity of CO2 but that you are expanding a gas. As a gas expands you increase the pressure until the walls cannot stand the pressure and the volume grows out, thus causing an explosion
