Most people severely underestimate the speed of fire and overestimate the speed at which they can respond. Even if a fire looks tiny, you have a very narrow window of opportunity to react before the fire spreads beyond your ability to control.
The same applies to fire in the home - if you can't put it out right now with whatever comes to hand, you've probably lost your window of opportunity to fight the fire. If your sofa or curtains catch fire, there simply isn't time to fill a bucket or fetch a hose. If you don't have an extinguisher to hand and can't snuff out the flames with a blanket, you need to run.
