That fire extinguisher looks ridiculously useless for a setup like this. Good thing it's a separate shed, at least.

The only purpose of a fire extinguisher is to allow you to get out. They do not contain enough water to adequately put out any real life fire (especially not an electrical one like this).

If he can't reach to grab it because it's too hot, he should have already left.

I think I'd rather have the extinguisher near the door.

If you are outside, it does not tempt you to cross the room. If you are inside, you run for the door, and then turn around and decide if maybe you should just keep running.
