Not only will you at least have a chance to put out your own fire, but
you may have a chance to help someone else. I and a couple of my
friends have been in situations where we were able to stop someone
else's engine fire before it got too far. It's a good feeling.
OTOH, I had a car burn up once, and I didn't have a fire extinguisher,
so I rode my bike for a couple of years afterward.
