I suppose, Class D Fire Extinguisher.

But in fact you should just let it burn out as the tiny amount of lithium will likely burn out much faster than you will bring your fire extinguisher. So normal Class A or B fire extinguisher may be OK to extinguish the remains.

Can we do the salt-water / load discharge from the club itself?
With some caution, if you put it into a plastic sac for insulation and metal box against fire (in fact you should always keep LiPO in fire proof bag or box), theoretically you can bring it home for deactivation and disposal.
But yes, if we had all proper facilities in the club - it would be much safer.
At least some fire pit, where the damaged and already burning LiPO can be safely burned without causing any disaster. It also can be used for a safe BBQ.
Having water and electricity in the club is also a good idea, but could be very expensive to do.
