How do you fight an electrical fire if have no fire extinguisher?
First, if you have any doubt that you can fight it safely, get out and call 911. If it is a small fire and you can safely reach the plug-in, unplug it. If not, go to the breaker box and cut off the main breaker. Remove any combustible material that may be next to the fire that the fire could spread to. Stay away from the smoke, it could contain toxic gases. Once the power is off, get a thick blanket and throw over the appliance. This should starve the fire of oxygen and it should go out. It will still be hot and could reignite so get it outside and pour water on it.
