I suppose if someone's CF frame and rims were to asplode, once they dialed it up to 400w, an FE would be handy.

It would be my luck that my bicycle installed smoke detector would have a dead battery.

Perhaps a fire extinguisher is good for one's EPS/Di2 equipped bike.
Just imagine the "hot seat" when one of those goes up in smoke.

All those synthetic clothes must be a fire hazard.
Let us not forget spontaneous combustion of the body itself.

On the bike, no, but I have brought one to an A&S thread now and then.
You have your handlebars straight up like my Dad liked to do on his cruisers. He'd be proud! 
Agreed, OP was pretty lame, but several posters have stepped in and saved the thread. Win!

Well I have a fire extinguisher sticker on the bottle cage adapter for my bear spray, on account that shizzle is illegal where I am. I can imagine the cluster if somebody actually tried to use it on a fire...

It's not a fire extinguisher.
It's just a high capacity CO2 cartridge for my tires.

Well, yeah. They also make CO2 fire (beer coolers) extinguishers.

No need for an extinguisher. I just use my triggered CO2 inflator to douse my tires after hammering those Strava segments!
