Q

According to TB #008 ELECTRICAL HAZARDS, Although injuries to firefighters from applying water directly on electrical fires are rare, water streams applied in the vicinity of high voltage should be avoided. When hose streams must be used, the following should be adhered to

A

-Where possible, extinguish small electrical fires with dry chemical or carbon dioxide extinguishers
-Utilize the 30/33/100 Rule for using hose streams around high voltage
-Maintain a safe distance from the energized equipment. The LADWP also recommends not approaching a high-voltage source closer than one’s body length, so that a fall forward would not cause direct body contact
-Remember the safest tactic regarding the use of hose streams around a high voltage source is to take a defensive stance, let the equipment burn and protect exposures.
