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.
