Electrical fires are best extinguished using?
Baking Soda & Class-C or ABC Fire ExtinguisherIf a fire extinguisher is not available and the fire is small, dousing it with enough baking soda can put it out. If you have one, use a class-C or multi-purpose ABC fire extinguisher to put out the flames. You can not use any other kind of fire extinguisher on an electrical fire (the extinguisher should be clearly marked, but if it's not and you're not sure what kind it is, don't use it)NEVER-EVER-EVER-use water on an electrical fire as it could cause electrocution-use a class-A fire extinguisher on an electrical fire.

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 WATERif it is small you could use some baking sodaan ABC or class C fire extinguisher are best
