Tips to Prevent Home Electrical Fires
- Call 9-1-1 if you see electrical equipment on fire, smoking, or sparking.
- Never try to extinguish an electrical fire with water – you could be electrocuted.
- Remember, only Class C fire extinguishers are rated to fight electrical fires.
- Check your electrical cords often. Replace cracked, damaged electrical cords. Don’t try to repair them.
- Don’t overload extension cords or wall outlets.
- Never use extension cords with major appliances – they can overheat and start a fire. Plug them directly into wall outlets.
