Using a Fire Extinguisher Properly

I’ve never actually used new afff fire extinguishers. With the amount of training I’ve had in fire safety, workplace safety, household safety, every-other-kind-of-safety, you’d think I would have used one at least once, but I haven’t. I know that in principle you pull the pin and spray the foam at the fire, and that you shouldn’t use it for an oil fire, but that’s about it. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to use one: do you have a feeling of power or control as you watch the fire reduce before your eyes? Are you too busy panicking about what’s on fire? Or are you too distracted looking for the nearest source of water to even think of the fire extinguisher? I hope I never have to find out in person, though.
