Once you have called for help, your safety is the top priority while you wait for your electrician to arrive. If the situation allows and it is safe to do so, switch off the circuit breaker for the affected area or shut off the main breaker to your whole home, if necessary. This can help prevent further damage and reduce the risk of fire while you wait.
If you smell burning, see smoke, or notice sparking that you cannot control, do not approach the electrical panel. Leave the house immediately and wait outside until your electrician or emergency responders arrive. Never attempt to handle exposed wiring, damaged outlets, or a hot electrical panel on your own.
While waiting, keep children and pets away from the affected area. If the outage affects lighting throughout your home, use battery-powered flashlights rather than candles to eliminate any additional fire risk. Your emergency electricians will be with you as quickly as possible. The most important thing in the meantime is to stay safe.
