Any fire extinguisher in a home or garage or shed is a good thing.
Baby fire extinguishers are mainly a tool for baby fires. We have several
25 lb'ers around, they will squash a pretty good fire.
I've seen 10 lb of powder (I know, not a lot) go up and it's nothing to run from, just let it burn out (won't take long) and squash the resultant fire. Not a big deal and certainly no reason to cut and run, letting your home catch fire.
Send the wife/kids outside but once the powder is gone you've got a pretty managable situation and you can minimize the loss easily. Panic never works well in a fire situation.
