One note about the fire extinguisher: My understanding is that it won't help a lipo fire, I don't have any experience with an actual lipo fire, but thats what I've been told.
You have been told incorrectly.

A FF friend of mine just (as in, about 5 minutes ago) confirmed for me the following:

"Either an ABC or CO2 extinguisher will take care of a LiPo fire. ABC is probably preferable, since it will extinguish a larger range of fires, will control re-ignition better, and is less expensive."

He went on to say that the major 'downside" to an ABC extinguisher was the horrendous mess they make...but in our case, likely outdoors or in a shop, we're probably not too concerned.
