the use of carbon tetrachloride as a fire extinguisher is not very safe because It smothers flames and chemically interferes with combustion, but its side effects make it unsafe.

When carbon tetrachloride contacts high heat, it form phosgene gas. Phosgene was a chemical weapon used in WWI. In an enclosed space, such as a small room, using a carbon tet extinguisher would extinguish the flames and kill the person using it.
