I used one of my car extinguishers to help put out a brush fire along the side of the road a couple of years ago. Myself, a state trooper and a big rig all stopped to get it under control with our extinguishers until the local (probably volunteer) fire rig got there to put it out with a pumper. Some moron tossing a lit cigarette out the window was what they figured it was caused by, and it was creeping toward the pine forest beyond the green belt along the shoulder. It could have expanded easily into something way out of control. Being small, they don't last long, but it was good to use it and help out. The big rig had one that was larger than ones I have seen in public building hallways. He'd never used it before and the cop had to show him how to work it. LOL
