Easy answer for that - I installed a sprinkler system. (And I am a fire professional)

Would this include running if you have a stove top fire in your kitchen and 
your house is 35 minutes response time from the nearest FD unit ?

Scot,

Rules of thumb I use regarding fire extinguishers:

Untrained--run
Trained layman--run if fire is bigger than you
Trained fire professional--run, there are too few to risk/spare
Firefighter--your call

Statistics we can use...thanks for those!

Fire extinguishers can work, but
if the facility is valuable and not occupied 24/7...

Fluorinated-foam and dry chem will be corrosive on sensitive equipment.
De-ionized Water mist and "clean-agent" are alternatives, although
  if the clean-agent contains fluorine, I am betting
  what is marketed as "clean" today will be billed more
  realistically
  after 20 years of history.

If we have the courage to encourage occupants to use portables,
  then how fine a line is it in our minds to allow
  an occupant to choose to use a  hose line?
