When my car caught fire several years ago, several people came up with handheld extinguishers. They had to get very close to use them. Effect on the fire was nil.
Eventually a fire truck arrived, pointed a truck-mounted nozzle in the general direction, and whoom, the fire was out.
I'd stop for a good think before I approached a truck fire with a handheld extinguisher.
Ditto this. If you don’t have a large extinguisher of the proper type, and get it on the fire quickly, the odds are against you. The little extinguishers most people carry haven’t been maintained or even touched in years. Get what’s important to you, and get away.
