Can I just recommend, those that go to the trouble of carrying a extinguisher around, you must fit a battery isolator. I speak from experience after losing a very rare (makes Deloreans look as common as muck!) VW to a electrical fire that compromised the fuel tank/pipes.
Although we had more than enough extinguishers to handle the actual fire, (works van following us used a very large extinguisher aswell) the electrical fault kept reigniting the plastics & fuel. Only when the fire-brigade arrived and the battery had died were things put out.
May help someone.
