Electrical Fires
Electrical fires are different than other fires. Because water conducts electricity, throwing water on an electrical fire can cause the fire to get larger. Here is what to do:
- NEVER use water on an electrical fire.
- If the fire can be put out safely, tell an adult to use a proper chemical fire extinguisher. If the fire cannot be put out safely, leave the house and go to your family’s emergency meeting spot to make sure everyone has gotten out safely.
- Call 911 or your emergency number and tell them it is an electrical fire.
