Snowmobile fire - fire extinguishers?

I've run across several sled fires on the trails over the years, it's just as easy and if you think about it equally as dangerous to throw snow on them as it is to try to use a fire extinguisher on them.

Thing is a fire extinguisher is bulky to carry for starters and in a crash situation depending on where it is could be ruptured and that could be dangerous let alone explosive as well.
