machine, electric bulbs, or electric heaters has become unimaginable. So,

cases of electrical emergencies. There are serious potential hazards and risks

fire, arc flash etc. These hazards can severely damage the property and can
cause serious injuries and even fatalities if these are not managed properly.

problem is with a switch or a circuit, you can cut the power by
switching it off with the help of a wooden stick.

TRY TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE

dowse it. You can also use water or fire blanket if you
have cut the power of the circuit. Extinguishing the fire
can save you from serious property damages.

STAY AT A SAFE DISTANCE
Whether you are trying to extinguish the fire or take out a
burning appliance, you must try to stay at a safe distance
from the troubling area. You should not go near the fire or
short circuit location and should stay at least 20 feet away
from it.

circuit, you may get too close to the electromagnetic field and
may experience an electric shock. You should wait for

appliances as you can.
