Electrical Fires

If an electrical fire occurs:

  • Disconnect the source of the electricity if possible
  • Pull the fire alarm box
  • Follow your facility's emergency action plan

If your facility requires the immediate and total evacuation of employees in the event of fire, do not attempt to extinguish the fire.
