I have a large Auto-extinguisher in my 300SD, and there's one of those little red "bottle type" ones in the 300D and in my wife's car. I might upgrade hers to a real one like mine now!

Sorry about your loss....its terrible that it had to happen to such a nice car. I don't know what I would do if that happened to me....it would take a long long time to recover.
