Fire is a chain reaction of fuel combining with oxygen when there is enough heat to continue burning. The actual "fire" is taking place only at the surface of the fuel, i.e., the "base" of the fire. Spraying fire extinguisher chemicals or water into the smoke or flames is not as effective as aiming directly at the source of the fire.

How would one use a fire extinguuisher?
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.
