Part of being prepared for this type of incident is also knowing when to stand back and let it burn, or if you have to let it burn, switch to protecting the other exposures; in this case the side of your house nearest to the fire, or any sheds etc. I'm not saying you needed to do that in this case, but you always have to know when the fire is beyond the capability of your tools and make that decision. You're probably still realizing just how many individual decisions you made in that short amount of time.
I like this type of nozzle for distance and the ability to shoot a wide spray pattern. I also like the ones called "sweeper nozzles" for shooting a stream over a long distance, such as wetting down a roof or the side of a house quickly.
The water extinguisher is a good addition. My dad always had several of those in the garage since he did some welding and used torches. I've seen those put out fires in under a minute simply because they were right there and available. We had extinguishers for other types of fires too, but the water extinguisher was the one that got used from time to time.
Fire extinguishers give a false sense of security. Several years ago I was at a rest area on the PA Turnpike and realized that a car parked several spaces down was on fire. The driver was inside the rest area. As I started toward the car, I realized there was someone asleep in the back seat. The fire was under the hood and already into the passenger compartment under the dash. I woke up the guy sleeping in the car, and helped him get their luggage and belongings out of the trunk before the whole car was involved. People were running up with tiny fire extinguishers and fortunately we convinced all but one of them that they would just waste their extinguisher. That guy "knew better" and had to shoot his extinguisher. He basically aimed it at nothing, and just about crapped his pants when it ran out in 8 seconds. The fire was way beyond the capability of any extinguisher and the best option was what we did - got the stuff out of the car, got all of the nearby cars and people away from it, and let it burn until the Fire Department arrived. Since we were on top of a mountain, it took a good 20 minutes for the FD to arrive, so the car was a total loss.
A good hose and nozzle are essential. As you found out, you also must have the pressure to back that up. If you are in an area where a wildfire is a possibility, take a look at a product called Barricade Fire Gel. It's pretty impressive stuff and is used to prepare your home prior to evacuation if you have time.
Good luck, and I'm glad that you weren't seriously injured.
