Default Check and maintain those outlets.

Lets have some more details. Suppose I suspect an outlet
check.

How would I switch off that circuit?

How would I replace that circuit?

This could be written a bit more clearly, and easily
understood.

Nasty fire in this area, last night. Appears one fatality.
Woman woke around 2.30 AM to hear 'popping noise, sparks and
flames
from an outlet.
Managed to get herself and 12 year old out, but suffered
smoke
inhalation.
Another young adult is missing; assumed dead.
No information yet whether anything was plugged into the
outlet etc.
Or whether anything was wired non standard etc.
Indication so far seems to be that it was the outlet itself
that was
faulty.
House virtually total loss
Fire Commisioner's staff on site today to investiagte and
probably
find remains of the missing person.
So recommend; anyone .......... if you suspect an outlet
check,
immediately switch off that circuit and replace.
