Burning vessel

I'd rather be dodging 8+ footers than dealing with a boat fire.
 
After reading the article, "running rough...opened engine compartment...whoosh - fire." Wouldn't it have been more prudent to do a quick smell test and visual inspect around the vents before venting all that air in their to feed a potential fire?
Safety question: If smoke is detected after engines and electical is shut down, would you discharge your fire extinguisher into the vents before opening the engine compartment?
