Electrical Fires
If there is an electrical fire that starts at a wall outlet, shut off electricity to that outlet by turning the circuit breaker off or unscrewing the fuse. If necessary, turn off the main switch.
You can use a B-C rated home fire extinguisher or baking soda to put out a small fire. Never use water on an electrical fire.
If the fire is out of control, evacuate the building. From a neighbor's house, call 911 for the fire department. Be sure to indicate that you have an electric fire.
