If there's a burning smell, visible sparks, or fire risk, switch off at the mains and evacuate. For less severe issues like a single tripped circuit, isolate that circuit and wait safely for your electrician.
Switch off the mains or the affected circuit. Don't attempt repairs yourself. Keep away from any exposed wiring or damaged fittings. Note any symptoms (smells, sounds, which circuits are affected) to help the electrician.
