Can a small fire typically be put out with a water-hose if you get to it well before it gets large?

Can a small fire typically be put out with a water-hose if you get to it well before it gets large?
We teach, in Community Emergency Response Team training, that, if the fire is larger than a small trashcan, it's too big for you. Call the Fire Department. They have the equipment and training to handle it.

Your time and talent would be better served getting your family, friends, coworkers outside safely.
