It takes a little while, but Gwen finds the extinguisher finally, coughing as she makes her way back into the apartment. She's never used one on an actual fire before, but she's grateful she knows what she's doing. The mess it makes is better than letting the place burn down.
And it would — definitely the apartment would be unlivable, and when she spots the fire on the stove, she's not sure the entire building wouldn't go up in short order. Finding something to cover and contain it is out of the question; it's too far gone. Her eyes are stinging as she aims the extinguisher at the stove, chest tight, but she doesn't stop until she can't see flames anymore. As she staggers back out of the apartment, she can hear voices in the stairwell and the wail of a siren coming down the street.
