Reply to comment by TheInfamous313 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

If you're trying to put out a fire and it needs more than a 25 second blast from a fire extinguisher... stop trying to put it out and start trying to escape.

If indoors, good advice. Unfortunately outdoors on cars that's not always the best plan.
