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
