Great thing about fire extinguishers is they are made to use without training. I’m not saying he had to use it, the intial comment was asking was he was in the engine compartment so it’s a possibility he was.
I’m a firefighter and there’s nothing wrong with using the extinguisher to try and knock down a minor issue with it if you can, which is why I said depends what stage the fire is in. Could save the vehicle and it’s contents and all you did was pull the pin, point and shoot. All that’s important is your constantly aware of changing conditions and don’t be a hero. If it’s not doing anything leave it and get away.
Anything more than it being a small fire there’s no debate, leave the vehicle and move as far away as possible before calling 911.

The one on the truck is the right kind, they’re universal.
