Wow. It also seems good to have more than one extinguisher with potent ones right near dust collector and near CNC.

yup. I think my count is 9 in my 24x24 shop. Probably overkill, but its always close to where I am. I also put them in places that are more likely to catch fire. Breaker box, grinder/metal working area, welder, etc.

I havent heard of it happening lately, but airborne sawdust is supposedly explosive in that it flash burns.
