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.
HOPE THAT HELPS!!!

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.

Get the extinguisher and have a good grip on it, pull the pin out of the handle, pull the hose/pipe/tube out if it has one, aim towards the center of the fire. Also, please make sure you are using the proper extinguisher type.
When using a Class ABC fire extinguisher, follow these guidelines: Pull the pin, aim the nozzle at the base of the fire, squeeze the handle, and sweep from side to side. Make sure to stand at a safe distance and never turn your back on the fire.
