How do I stop my gas fireplace from smelling like kerosene?
If you gas fire smells it is VERY IMPORTANT that you stop using it immediately and that you get a professional, qualified gas fire engineer to come and service it and check the flue. The reason for this is that a faulty fire can produce a gas called Carbon Monoxide (CO) which you can not smell or taste. This gas will kill you and is responsible for may "faulty fire" related deaths a year. The fact that you can smell kerosene from the fire indicates that fumes are leaking back into your living area and the likelihood is that CO is too. STOP USING THE FIRE!

Would shooting a fire extinguisher put out a fire?
No. Depending upon the type of fire, there are other ways. For instance, a brush fire can be put out with dirt or water, but is generally put out by removing the fuel.

A fire extinguisher contains water or other chemicals and you can certainly apply water or chemicals to a fire without having them come out of an extinguisher.
