It depends upon the size of the fire, type and size of extinguisher.

Many small, portable extinguishers cannot be reused once they have been discharged. Others can be used again, in theory, but code may require that the extinguisher be recharged or replaced.

Portable fire extinguishers 5 pounds and larger can often be professionally recharged rather than replaced, although some services simply exchange a fully charged one for the partially discharged one.

Larger fire extinguishers are almost always designed to be recharged after use. For instance, an aircraft hangar foam extinguisher might cost $15,000 to recharge.
