My car's brake light came on, can I drive home?

I am admittedly ignorant of all things car. My cars BRAKE! light came on a few minutes after I turned it on. I’m about 40 minutes from home and need to get on the highway to do it. I tried pulling the emergency brake and putting it back down to see if it was just a bit stuck – no luck. Could it be a fluid issue? Will I be okay driving home?

It’s fairly freezing outside which always give me a slight exhaust smell in my car, other than that I haven’t smelled anything out of the ordinary. And its really freaking dark.

I have a 1996 Mazda Protege LX.
