a fire extinguisher can put out a fire
Well, you CAN- depending on the type of fire.
Yes. Depending on the type of fire and the type of extinguisher, you may simply spread the fire (which is bad enough) or you might actually cause more damage (trying to put out a sodium fire with a water based extinguisher, for example).
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. An electrical fire might be put out by simply turning off the electricity. 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.
