It depends on the situation. If the fire is small and you are confident in using the portable fire extinguisher safely, and you have a clear escape route, then using the extinguisher might be appropriate. However, if the fire is too large, spreading quickly, or if you feel unsafe, it is better to evacuate immediately and call for help.

If you are unsure or feel unsafe, the best choice is:

No
