Use water to extinguish the fire. If you don’t have any type of fire extinguisher or fire blanket around, then you can use water; however, ONLY use water if you have 100% turned the power to the source OFF. Otherwise you not only risk electrocution, but also spreading around the electricity, which can spread the fire much more quickly. Throw the water at the base or seat of the fire.
o Water at the speed you can draw it from a sink will only be effective if the fire is very small and contained. Otherwise, it will spread faster than you can douse it.
