The BCF extinguishers onboard are VERY effective, using more than one on any onboard fire is very rare.

In a flight situation I doubt this sort of thing would have got beyond the smell of burning and a bit of smoke. The pilots would have got straight on to the oxygen masks and PA'd the cabin crew to get in their immediately to run through their drills.
