My dad s a retired fire fighter and the mechanisms he used were although more olden kind, they were similar to the fire extinguisher. In a life threatening situation you must not panic and aim it in the middle up of the fire, releasing the outer burning energy and then go around it smothering the fire.

the base of the fire
The bottom or base- where the fuel is located.
Aim at the base of the fire and use a sweeping motion
The fire extinguisher contents are designed to interact with the fuel/air boundary, so you need to aim at where the fuel is burning, that is, "at the base of the flames."

Sweep the fire out. P A S S. pull, aim, squeeze, sweep.
Base of the fire
When using a fire extinguisher, aim the steam or agent at the base of the fire. This is crucial because the base is where the fuel is located, and effectively targeting it helps to cut off the fire's source of combustion. Additionally, using a sweeping motion from side to side can help ensure that the fire is fully extinguished. Always maintain a safe distance while operating the extinguisher.
To safely extinguish a metal fire using a fire extinguisher, follow these steps: Use a Class D fire extinguisher specifically designed for metal fires. Stand at a safe distance from the fire and aim the extinguisher nozzle at the base of the flames. Sweep the extinguishing agent back and forth across the fire until it is completely out. Do not use water or a regular fire extinguisher on a metal fire, as it can make the fire worse.
At the base of the fire.
The word "PASS" can be used to remember the steps for using a fire extinguisher. It stands for Pull the pin, Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle, and Sweep the nozzle from side to side. This acronym helps ensure that you use the extinguisher effectively and safely.
