First priority is to remove the source of the electricity. Without that, the fire will continue to form. After disconnecting the electrical source, put out the fire as normal, with a co2 extinguisher and foam. Sand works too.
Improvement:Sand is the best option after a CO2 extinguisher.Improvement:
I agree but you could also try smothering it with a fire blanket (if you don't have a CO2 extinguisher lying around!) to take away the oxygen BUT NEVER put water on an electrical fire it just makes it worse.
IMPROVEMENT;
here are some good tips,
NEVER USE WATER
if it is small you could use some baking soda
an ABC or class C fire extinguisher are best

Using a CO2 fire extinguisher will not get any powder contaminants into the electrical components of the equipment (increasing the odds that something can be salvaged), if you don't have that, then the typical fire extinguishers are rated for A,B and C class fires
- A is like wood or paper burning
- B is grease, oil or other liquid fuel
- C is an electrical fire.
