As an expert in safety and emergency response, I must advise against using water to extinguish an electrical fire. Water is a good conductor of electricity, which means it can spread the electrical current, potentially causing further damage or even electrocution. The correct procedure is to use a fire extinguisher rated for electrical fires, such as a Class C or a multi-purpose dry chemical extinguisher. Always remember to turn off the power source if it is safe to do so before attempting to extinguish the fire.
