Electrical Fire Safety

Never use water on electrical fires, equipment or wires. Because water conducts electricity, dousing water on an electrical fire can cause the fire to intensify.
If an appliance is on fire, unplug it or cut the power at the control panel if possible.
If the fire is small, use baking soda or a multipurpose or dry chemical fire extinguisher.
Prepare and practice a home fire escape plan with your family.
Above all, keep your personal safety in mind during an appliance fire. Call 911 and get out of the building if the fire cannot be quickly extinguished.
