Ahmet, you have it exactly right!
Thank you so much for reading my messages with the intention of understanding,
instead of the intention of rebuttal.
The only thing I could add is that I don't have a CO2 extinguisher aboard. On
an electrical fire, which I consider most likely, with the power removed I
would blast it with either foam or the fresh water hose I have in the engine
room for rinsing watermaker filters and general washdown. I think fresh water
would penetrate a wire bundle best to cool it down and leave the least cleanup
mess.

1. We are dealing with an electrical fire. (Said to be the most likely type of
fire at the start of the discussion)
2. We disconnect the primary electrical source/s. (Eliminating a possible heat
source, and also make it safer to fight the fire)
3. We cannot afford the means to flood the entire compartment with dry chem or
CO2 so we have to apply it directly to the fire.
4. We cannot see the spot where the fire exists because there is so much smoke.
(Again said to be the most likely situation)
5. We must remove the smoke and replace it with air.
6. We blow cool air into the compartment because if we suck the hot air we
might melt down the fan or the duct.
7. We begin to see the spot where the fire exists and blast it with CO2 to kill
it.
8. We survive.
Norm might be on the right path. I will wait for the explanation.
Cheers
Ahmet
