From my experience it’s never been a good idea to put any of those compressed air bottles near an open flame, so how would that work for fire extinguishers. Does the extinguish over power the compressed gases, or is it an entirely different kind of mechanism, and if so, how does that work?

About 90% of the aerosols use flammable hydrocarbons to pressurize aerosol cans like hairspray or brake cleaner. A fire extinguisher is clearly not pressurized with flammable hydrocarbons.
