Reply to comment by way2funni in TIL that a typical fire extinguisher only lasts seconds while continuously being sprayed. A 20 pound extinguisher can only be sprayed for 25 seconds. by rtpkickballer

Thanks for coming from a different angle and understanding. Yes worst case scenario where there is a fire on the stairs and section of the floor which is between me and the kids. I would need to be in and out of 3 rooms and then get out of the house.

You're almost certainly better off going out the most convenient door and back in their bedroom window. The way more significant issue is you choking to death from the smoke of whatever's on fire.
