If you are not a firefighter trying to put it out:
•Have 1 person call in the emergency.
•Evacuate the building
•Use a type C fire extenguisher if you need to put out any flames to evacuate.
If you are:
•Disconnect power supply, or have Power Company do so.
•After all power is shut down it should be safe to use water. Or even use a type C extenguisher.
Assuming the fire is caused by an electrical problem, you would need a class c extinguisher.
An electrical fire is a class "C" fire. A Class "C" fire is actually a class "A" or "B" fire that is caused by electrical current.
An electrical fire in an automobile is usually caused by a short circuit. For example, If there are exposed wires somewhere, touching metal, that could start a fire.
A non-electrical fire would be one involving combustibles or fuels but does not involve energized equipment.

No, lightning is not made out of fire. Lightning is an electrical discharge that occurs during a thunderstorm, caused by the buildup and release of electric charge in the atmosphere. It is extremely hot and can cause things to catch fire, but it is not fire itself.
* Raise the alarm immediately to alert everyone else of the danger * Never try and tackle the fire on your own, and do not try and tackle it at all if it is not possible to do so. * Make sure you are safe after raising the alarm. * Call 999 (UK) or 911 (America) for the fire service * Use the correct fire extinguisher for the correct type of fire (e.g a fire extuinguisher meant for fires caused by electrical faults should only be used for fighting fires caused by electrical faults)
